It is disliked for a judge to pass a judgement when he is angry
My father dictated (and I wrote for him) to Ubaidullah bin Abu Bakra while he was the judge of Sijistan: Do not judge between two persons when you are angry, for I have heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: None of you should judge between two persons when he is angry.
