( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ، أَنْبَأَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، أَنْبَأَ عُقْبَةُ، ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، حَدَّثَنِي إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ غَنْمٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ قَالَ:
وَيْلٌ لِدَيَّانِ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ دَيَّانِ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَوْمَ يَلْقَوْنَهُ، إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَّ الْعَدْلَ وَقَضَى بِالْحَقِّ، وَلَمْ يَقْضِ عَلَى هَوًى، وَلَا عَلَى قَرَابَةٍ، وَلَا عَلَى رَغَبٍ وَلَا عَلَى رَهَبٍ، وَجَعَلَ كِتَابَ اللهِ مِرْآةً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ

Woe to the judges of those on earth from the Judge of those in heaven on the day they meet Him, except for one who aims at justice, rules by the truth, does not rule by whim, nor out of kinship, nor out of desire, nor out of fear, and who makes the Book of Allah a mirror between his eyes.
