"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: "أَتَى النَّبِىَّ ﷺ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالُوا: ابْعَثْ فِينَا مَنْ يُفَقِّهنَا فِى الدِّينِ، وَيُعَلَّمُنَا السُّنَنَ، وَيَحْكُمُ فِينَا بِكتَابِ الله، فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ: انْطَلِقْ يا علىُّ إِلَى أَهْل الْيَمَنِ فَفَقّهْهُمْ فِى الدِّينِ وَعَلِّمْهُمُ السُّنَنَ، وَاحكُمْ فِيهِمْ بكِتَابِ الله، فَقُلْتُ: إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْيَمَنِ قَوْمٌ طَغامٌ يأتونِى من القضاءِ بما لَا عِلم لِى بِه، فَضَرَبَ النَّبِىُّ ﷺ عَلَى صَدْرِى ثُمَّ قَالَ: اذْهَبْ فَإِنَّ الله سَيَهْدِى قَلْبَكَ، وَيُثَبِّتُ لِسَانَكَ. فَمَا شَكَكْتُ فِى قَضَاءٍ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ حَتَّى السَّاعَة".

"From 'Ali, who said: "Some people from Yemen came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: Send someone among us who will teach us the religion, instruct us in the Sunnah, and judge among us by the Book of Allah. The Prophet ﷺ said: Go, O 'Ali, to the people of Yemen, teach them the religion, instruct them in the Sunnah, and judge among them by the Book of Allah. I said: The people of Yemen are a foolish people, and they will bring me judgments about which I have no knowledge. Then the Prophet ﷺ struck my chest and said: Go, for Allah will guide your heart and make your tongue firm. I have never doubted any judgment between two people since then."
