أَخْبَرَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَاشِمٍ قَالَ لَوْلَا حَدِيثُ ابْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ لَقُلْتُ إِنَّ الْقَاضِيَ إِذَا اجْتَهَدَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَلَكِنْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْقُضَاةُ ثَلَاثَةٌ اثْنَانِ فِي النَّارِ وَوَاحِدٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ رَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَقَضَى بِهِ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ الْحَقَّ فَلَمْ يَقْضِ بِهِ وَجَارَ فِي الْحُكْمِ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجُلٌ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ الْحَقَّ فَقَضَى لِلنَّاسِ عَنْ جَهْلٍ فَهُوَ فِي النَّارِ»

✧ On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ—I would have said: When a judge strives (to reach a ruling), he bears no blame. But the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Judges are of three types: two are in the Fire and one is in Paradise. A man who knew the truth and judged by it—he is in Paradise. A man who knew the truth but did not judge by it and was unjust in his ruling—he is in the Fire. And a man who did not know the truth and judged for the people out of ignorance—he is in the Fire.”
