2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Yazid ibn Ishaq from Harun ibn Hamzah al-Ghanawiy from Hariz from abu Basir who has narrated the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If anyone may have a dispute with his brother about a certain right, he then calls him before one of his brothers to judge for them but he refuses. He takes him before these ones, he will be like the one about whom Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, has said, “. . . have you considered those who think they have believed in what Allah has sent before you, they like to seek judgment before the transgressors when they are commanded to reject the transgressors, the devil.” (4:60)’”
2- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ حَمْزَةَ الْغَنَوِيِّ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَخٍ لَهُ مُمَارَاةٌ فِي حَقٍّ فَدَعَاهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ لِيَحْكُمَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهُ فَأَبَى إِلا أَنْ يُرَافِعَهُ إِلَى هَؤُلاءِ كَانَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الَّذِينَ قَالَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَلَمْ تَرَ إِلَى الَّذِينَ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّهُمْ آمَنُوا بِما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ وَما أُنْزِلَ مِنْ قَبْلِكَ يُرِيدُونَ أَنْ يَتَحاكَمُوا إِلَى الطَّاغُوتِ وَقَدْ أُمِرُوا أَنْ يَكْفُرُوا بِهِ الآيَةَ.
