أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سَيْفٍ الْحَرَّانِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ هُوَ الْحَنَفِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَخْنَسِيُّ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتُعْمِلَ عَلَى الْقَضَاءِ فَكَأَنَّمَا ذُبِحَ بِالسِّكِّينِ» قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَخْنَسِيُّ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ الْقَوِيِّ وَإِنَّمَا ذَكَرْنَا لِئَلَّا يَخْرُجَ عُثْمَانُ مِنَ الْوَسَطِ وَيَجْعَلَ ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ

- Abū Dāwud Sulaymān b. Sayf al-Ḥarrānī
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever is appointed to the judiciary is as if he has been slaughtered with a knife.” Abu Abd al-Rahman said: Uthman b. Muhammad al-Akhnasi is not that strong; we mentioned this only so that Uthman would not be left out of the middle rank, and so that Ibn Abi Dhi'b is made to transmit from Sa'id.
