" عن عليٍّ قالَ: بعثَنِى رسولُ الله ﷺ إلى اليمنِ، فقلتُ: يا رسولَ الله بَعَثْتَنِى إلى قومٍ همْ أسَنُّ مِنِّى وأَنَا حَدِيثٌ لا أُبصِرُ القضاءَ، فوضع يَدهُ على صدرى وقَال: اللهُمَّ ثَبِّتْ لسانهُ واهدِ قلبَهُ، يا علىُّ إذا جَلَسَ إليكَ الخَصمانِ فلا تقضى بينهمَا حتَّى تسمَعَ من الآخَرِ كما سمعتَ من الأولِ، فإنَّك إِذَا فَعلتَ ذَلِكَ تبيَّنَ لكَ القضاءُ. فما أشكلَ علىَّ قضاءٌ بعدُ ".....

"From ʿAlī, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me to Yemen. I said: O Messenger of Allah, you have sent me to a people who are older than I am, and I am young and do not know how to judge. So he placed his hand on my chest and said: O Allah, make his tongue firm and guide his heart. O ʿAlī, when two disputants sit before you, do not judge between them until you hear from the other as you heard from the first, for if you do that the judgment will become clear to you. After that, no judgment was ever unclear to me.".....
