   إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ عَفَّانَ ؓ، قَالَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ: اقْضِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، فَقَالَ: لَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ، وَلَا أَؤُمُّهُمَا، قَالَ: فَإِنَّ أَبَاكَ ؓ كَانَ يَقْضِي، قَالَ: كَانَ أَبِي يَقْضِي، فَإِنْ أَشْكَلَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ سَأَلَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، وَإِنْ أَشْكَلَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ سَأَلَ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ، وَأَنَا لَا أَجِدُ مَنْ أَسْأَلُهُ، وَإِنِّي لَسْتُ مِثْلَ أَبِي، وَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ الْقُضَاةَ ثَلَاثَةٌ: رَجُلٌ خَافَ فَمَالَ بِهِ هَوًى فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ، [وَرَجُلٌ تَكَلَّفَ الْقَضَاءَ فَقَضَى بِجَهْلٍ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ]، وَرَجُلٌ اجْتَهَدَ فَأَصَابَ فَذَاكَ يَنْجُو كَفَافًا لَا لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ، وَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ عَاذَ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ عَاذَ بِمَعَاذٍ، قَالَ: بَلَى. قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنْكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي قَاضِيًا، فَأَعْفَاهُ، وَقَالَ: لَا تُخْبِرَنَّ أَحَدًا

   ✧ Uthman b. Affan ؓ said to Ibn Umar ؓ: Judge between the people. He said: I will not judge between two men, nor lead them in prayer. He said: Your father ؓ used to judge. He said: My father used to judge, and if something was unclear to him, he asked the Prophet ﷺ, and if something was unclear to the Prophet ﷺ, he asked Gabriel ﷺ. But I do not find anyone to ask, and I am not like my father. It has reached me that judges are three: a man who feared [God] but his desire swayed him, so he is in the Fire; [a man who undertook judgment and judged ignorantly, so he is in the Fire]; and a man who strove and was correct; that one escapes with neither gain nor loss. Have you heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: Whoever seeks refuge in God has sought refuge in a true refuge? He said: Yes. He said: Then I seek refuge in God from you making me a judge. So he excused him and said: Do not tell anyone.

He said: "Will you excuse me, O Commander of the Believers?" He said: "I adjure you to go and judge." He said: "Do not be hasty. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever seeks refuge in Allah has sought refuge in a true refuge.'" He said: "Yes." He said: "I seek refuge in Allah from being a judge." He said: "What prevents you, when your father was a judge?" He said: "Because I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'Whoever is a judge who judges unjustly will be among the people of the Fire, and whoever is a judge who judges in ignorance will be among the people of the Fire, and whoever is a knowledgeable judge who judges with truth or justice will ask Allah to be released with nothing for or against him.'"

    خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ، وَفِيهِ: وَمَنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ شَهَادَةٍ أَوْ كَتَمَهَا أَطْعَمَهُ اللهُ لَحْمَهُ عَلَى رُؤُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ [يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ]، فَيُدْخِلُهُ النَّارَ، وَهُوَ يَلُوكُ لِسَانَهُ، ( وَمَنْ شَهِدَ ) شَهَادَةَ الزُّورِ عَلَى مُسْلِمٍ أَوْ كَافِرٍ عُلِّقَ بِلِسَانِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، ثُمَّ صُيِّرَ مَعَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ ( فِي الدَّرْكِ الْأَسْفَلِ ) مِنَ النَّارِ، وَمَنْ تَحَلَّمَ مَا لَمْ يَحْلُمْ كَانَ كَمَنْ شَهِدَ الزُّورَ... الْحَدِيثَ

    ✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressed us, and mentioned the hadith, in which: And whoever retracts a testimony or conceals it, Allah will feed him his own flesh on the heads of the creatures [on the Day of Resurrection], and will enter him into the Fire while he chews his tongue. And whoever bears false witness against a Muslim or a disbeliever will be hung by his tongue on the Day of Resurrection, then placed with the hypocrites in the lowest depth of the Fire. And whoever claims to have seen a dream he did not see is like one who bears false witness... the hadith.
