وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مِرْدَاسٍ، ثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ، عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ؓ، قُلْتُ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِذَا ابْتُلِيَ أَحَدُكُمْ بِالْقَضَاءِ بَيْنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَلَا يَقْضِي وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ، وَلْيُسَوِّ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ وَالنَّظَرِ وَالْإِشَارَةِ، وَلَا يَرْفَعُ صَوْتَهُ عَلَى أَحَدِ الْخَصْمَيْنِ فَوْقَ الْآخَرِ ".
