حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ الْجُعْفِيُّ عَنْ زَائِدَةَ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ عَنْ حَنَشٍ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ

إِذَا تَقَاضَى إِلَيْكَ رَجُلاَنِ فَلاَ تَقْضِ لِلأَوَّلِ حَتَّى تَسْمَعَ كَلاَمَ الآخَرِ فَسَوْفَ تَدْرِي كَيْفَ تَقْضِي قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فَمَا زِلْتُ قَاضِيًا بَعْدُ
