1536. THE DANGER IN THE OCCUPATION OF A JUDGE

5274.رَسولُ اللَّه صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن جُعِلَ قاضياً فَقَد ذُبِحَ بغيرِ سِكِّينٍ . فقيلَ : يا رسولَ اللَّهِ ، وما الذَّبحُ ؟ قالَ : نارُ جهنَّمَ .¹

5274.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Whoever has been [wrongfully] appointed judge has been slaughtered without a knife.' He was asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, and what is meant by slaughtering?' He said, 'The Fire of Hell.' ²

5275.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : إنَّ القاضيَ العَدلَ لَيُجاءُ بهِ يَومَ القِيامَةِ فَيَلقَى‏ مِن شِدَّةِ الحِسابِ ما يَتَمَنّى‏ أن لا يكونَ قَضى‏ بينَ اثنَينِ في تَمرَةٍ قَطُّ .³

5275.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'The just judge will be brought forward on the Day of Judgment and will be judged so severely that he will wish that he never judged between two people for so much as a date.' ⁴

5276.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : إنَّ النَّواويسَ‏⁵ شَكَت إلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّوجلَّ شِدَّةَ حَرِّها ، فقالَ لَها عَزَّوجلَّ : اسكُتي ؛ فإنَّ مَواضِعَ القُضاةِ أشَدُّ حَرّاً مِنكِ !⁶

5276.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'The Nawawis [a place in Hell] complained to Allah about the severity of the heat within them, so He said to them, 'Quiet! For the resting place of the judges is more severe in heat than yours!' ⁷
