Hadith.3216 - Ahmad ibn A'idh narrated from Abu Khadijah Salim ibn Mukram al-Jammal, who said
Abu Abdullah Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said:
"Beware that none of you should take another to judgment before the people of tyranny. Instead, look for a man among you who knows something of our judgments, and appoint him as a judge between you, for indeed I have appointed him as a judge. So refer to him for judgment."
3216 - رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَائِذٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ سَالِمِ بْنِ مُكْرَمٍ اَلْجَمَّالِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : "إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ يُحَاكِمَ بَعْضُكُمْ بَعْضاً إِلَى أَهْلِ اَلْجَوْرِ وَ لَكِنِ اُنْظُرُوا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْكُمْ، يَعْلَمُ شَيْئاً مِنْ قَضَايَانَا فَاجْعَلُوهُ بَيْنَكُمْ فَإِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُهُ قَاضِياً فَتَحَاكَمُوا إِلَيْهِ ".
