5- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ رَفَعَهُ
قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لِشُرَيْحٍ لا تُسَارَّ أَحَداً فِي مَجْلِسِكَ وَإِنْ غَضِبْتَ فَقُمْ فَلا تَقْضِيَنَّ فَأَنْتَ غَضْبَانُ قَالَ وَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) لِسَانُ الْقَاضِي وَرَاءَ قَلْبِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ لَهُ قَالَ وَإِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْسَكَ.
5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah in a marfu‘ manner who has narrated the following:
“’Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali , once said to Shurayh, ’You must not please anyone in your adjudicating session, and if you become angry, you must stand up and must not issue a judgment when you are angry.’ Abu ’Abd Allah
, has said that the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, ‘The tongue of a judge is behind his heart. If it is for him, he speaks; and if it is against him, he remains quiet.’”
