Chapter 25 · The Office of the Judge (Kitab Al-Aqdiyah)حَدَّثَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ أَبُو تَوْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ: أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي مَوَارِيثَ لَهُمَا لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ إِلَّا دَعْوَاهُمَا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ، فَبَكَى الرَّجُلَانِ، وَقَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا: حَقِّي لَكَ، فَقَالَ لَهُمَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَمَّا إِذْ فَعَلْتُمَا مَا فَعَلْتُمَا، فَاقْتَسِمَا وَتَوَخَّيَا الْحَقَّ، ثُمَّ اسْتَهَمَا، ثُمَّ تَحَالَّا.
