حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سِمَاکِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ حَنَشٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا تَقَاضَی إِلَيْکَ رَجُلَانِ فَلَا تَقْضِ لِلْأَوَّلِ حَتَّی تَسْمَعَ کَلَامَ الْآخَرِ فَسَوْفَ تَدْرِي کَيْفَ تَقْضِي قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَمَا زِلْتُ قَاضِيًا بَعْدُ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 1331
Ali narrated: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: 'When two men come to you seeking judgement, do not judge for the first until you have heard the statement of the other. Soon you will know how to judge.' 'Ali said: I did not err since then.
