أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ قَالَ کَتَبَ أَبِي وَکَتَبْتُ لَهُ إِلَی عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ وَهُوَ قَاضِي سِجِسْتَانَ أَنْ لَا تَحْکُمَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ غَضْبَانُ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا يَحْکُمْ أَحَدٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ
سنن نسائی · Hadith 5421
It was narrated that ‘Abdur Rahman bin Abi Bakrah said: “My father wrote to ‘Ubaidullah bin Abi Bakrah — who was the judge of Sijistan — saying: ‘Do not pass judgment between two people when you are angry, for I heard the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم say: No one should pass judgment between two people when he is angry.” (Sahih).
