Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh

رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: "اِتَّقُوا اَلْحُكُومَةَ فَإِنَّ اَلْحُكُومَةَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ لِلْإِمَامِ اَلْعَالِمِ بِالْقَضَاءِ اَلْعَادِلِ فِي اَلْمُسْلِمِينَ كَنَبِيٍّ أَوْ وَصِيِّ نَبِيٍّ".

Sulayman ibn Khalid narrated from Abu Abdillah (a.s) who said: "Beware of judging, for judgment is only for an Imam who is knowledgeable in judicial matters and just among the Muslims, like a prophet or the executor of a prophet."

وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ لِشُرَيْحٍ: "يَا شُرَيْحُ قَدْ جَلَسْتَ مَجْلِساً مَا جَلَسَهُ إِلاَّ نَبِيٌّ أَوْ وَصِيٌّ نَبِيٍّ أَوْ شَقِيٌّ ".

Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s) said to Shurayh: "O Shurayh, you have sat in a position that none has sat in except a prophet, the executor of a prophet, or a wretched person."
