2. Ali has narrated from his father from certain persons of his people from ‘Asem ibn Humayd from Muhammad ibn Qays who has narrated the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said that once one of the prophets complained before his Lord saying, ‘How can I judge in matters about which I am not informed how to deal with/ He said, ‘Leave them for Me and add them to My name by which they must swear and take an oath.’”
2- عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قَيْسٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ نَبِيّاً مِنَ الأنْبِيَاءِ شَكَا إِلَى رَبِّهِ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِي أُمُورٍ لَمْ أُخْبَرْ بِبَيَانِهَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رُدَّهُمْ إِلَيَّ وَأَضِفْهُمْ إِلَى اسْمِي يَحْلِفُونَ بِهِ.
