4. Al-Husayn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali from abu Khadijah who has narrated the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said to me, ‘Beware no one among you must take one another before the people of injustice. You must find among yourselves one who knows certain things of our judgment; then you must appoint him to judge for you; I have made him to judge for you and you must seek adjudication before him.’”
4- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ يُحَاكِمَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً إِلَى أَهْلِ الْجَوْرِ وَلَكِنِ انْظُرُوا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ يَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً مِنْ قَضَائِنَا فَاجْعَلُوهُ بَيْنَكُمْ فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ قَاضِياً فَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَيْهِ.
