حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی الصَّنْعَانِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَال سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِکِ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ اذْهَبْ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ أَوَ تُعَافِينِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ فَمَا تَکْرَهُ مِنْ ذَلِکَ وَقَدْ کَانَ أَبُوکَ يَقْضِي قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ کَانَ قَاضِيًا فَقَضَی بِالْعَدْلِ فَبِالْحَرِيِّ أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ مِنْهُ کَفَافًا فَمَا أَرْجُو بَعْدَ ذَلِکَ وَفِي الْحَدِيثِ قِصَّةٌ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی حَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَلَيْسَ إِسْنَادُهُ عِنْدِي بِمُتَّصِلٍ وَعَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ الَّذِي رَوَی عَنْهُ الْمُعْتَمِرُ هَذَا هُوَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1322
Abdullah bin Mawhab narrated that 'Uthman said to Ibn 'Umar: Go and judge between the people. So he said: Perhaps you can excuse me (from that) O Commander of the Believers! He said: Why do you have an aversion for that when your father judged? He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'Whoever was a judge and judged with justice, it still would have been better for him to have turned away from it completely.' What do I want after that?' (Daif).
