21ـ رسولُ اللهِِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): ما مِن قاضٍ مِن قُضاةِ المُسلمينَ إلّا ومَعهُ مَلَكانِ يُسَدِّدانِهِ إلَى الحَقِّ مالَم يُرِدْ غيرَهُ، فإذا أرادَ غيرَهُ وجارَ مُتَعمِّدا تَبَرَّأَ مِنهُ المَلَكانِ ووَكَلاهُ إلى نفسِهِ. |
21– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘There is no Muslim judge who does not have two angels guiding him to the truth as long as he does not seek other than this [i.e. the truth]. If he does want other than the truth and intentionally gives wrong edicts, the two angels disown him and entrust him to his own [base] self.’[Kanz al-`Ummal, no. 14993] |
22ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): يَدُ اللّهِ فوقَ رَأسِ الحاكِمِ تُرَفرِفُ بالرَّحمَةِ، فإذا حافَ وَكَلَهُ اللّهُ إلى نفسِهِ. |
22– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘The Hand of Allah hovers above the head of the judge with mercy. If he gives unjust rulings, Allah entrusts him to his own self.’[al-Kafi, v. 7, p. 410, no. 1] |
