رَوَى اَلْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنْ قَاضٍ بَيْنَ قَرْيَتَيْنِ يَأْخُذُ مِنَ اَلسُّلْطَانِ عَلَى اَلْقَضَاءِ اَلرِّزْقَ فَقَالَ "ذَاكَ سُحْتٌ".

Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Abdullah ibn Sinan who said: Abu Abdillah (a.s) was asked about a judge between two villages who takes a salary from the ruler for judging. Imam (a.s) said: "That is unlawful (suht)."
