حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا مُلَازِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَی بْنُ نَجْدَةَ عَنْ جَدِّهِ يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ وَهُوَ أَبُو کَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ طَلَبَ قَضَائَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّی يَنَالَهُ ثُمَّ غَلَبَ عَدْلُهُ جَوْرَهُ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَمَنْ غَلَبَ جَوْرُهُ عَدْلَهُ فَلَهُ النَّارُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 3575
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone seeks the office of judge among Muslims till he gets it and his justice prevails over his tyranny, he will go to Paradise; but the man whose tyranny prevails over his justice will go to Hell.
