وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، وَأُمَيَّةُ بْنُ بِسْطَامٍ - فَرَّقَهُمَا وَهَذَا لَفْظُ أُمَيَّةَ، قَالَا: ثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ أَبِي [جَمِيلَةَ]، يَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، قَالَ:

إِنَّ عُثْمَانَ ؓ، قَالَ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ ؓ: اذْهَبْ [فَكُنْ] قَاضِيًا، قَالَ: أَوَ يُعْفِينِي أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ، قَالَ: أَوَ تُعْفِينِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؟ قَالَ: عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ إِلَّا ذَهَبْتَ فَقَضَيْتَ، قَالَ: لَا تَعْجَلْ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: مَنْ عَاذَ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ عَاذَ بِمَعَاذٍ. قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ أَنْ أَكُونَ قَاضِيًا. قَالَ: وَمَا يَمْنَعُكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُوكَ قَاضِيًا ؟ قَالَ: لِأَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ كَانَ قَاضِيًا يَقْضِي بِجَوْرٍ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ، [وَمَنْ كَانَ قَاضِيًا [يَقْتَضِي] بِجَهْلٍ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ]، وَمَنْ كَانَ قَاضِيًا عَالِمًا فَقَضَى بِحَقٍّ أَوْ بِعَدْلٍ سَأَلَ اللهَ أَنْ يَنْفَلِتَ كَفَافًا

✧ Uthman ؓ said to Ibn Umar ؓ: "Go and be a judge." He replied: "Will the Commander of the Believers excuse me?" He said: "Go and judge between the people." 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.'"
