رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "مَنْ حَكَمَ فِي دِرْهَمَيْنِ فَأَخْطَأَ كَفَرَ ".

It is narrated from Abu Basir that Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad Al-Baqir (a.s) said: "Whoever judges in a matter of two dirhams and errs has disbelieved."

Hadith 2

وَ رَوَى مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ وَهْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: "أَيُّ قَاضٍ قَضَى بَيْنَ اِثْنَيْنِ فَأَخْطَأَ سَقَطَ أَبْعَدَ مِنَ اَلسَّمَاءِ".

Muawiyah ibn Wahb narrated from Abu Abdillah (a.s) that he said: "Any judge who judges between two people and errs falls farther than the distance between the heavens."
