Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1119
حديث أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى ابْنِهِ، وَكَانَ بِسِجِسْتَانَ، بِأَنْ لَا تَقْضِيَ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَنْتَ غَضْبَانُ، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: لَا يَقْضِيَنَّ حَكَمٌ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ وَهُوَ غَضْبَانُ.
'Abdur Rahmân bin Abî Bakra Narrated from:
Abî Bakra wrote to his son who was in Sijistan: Do not judge between two persons when you are angry, for I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "A judge should not judge between two persons when he is in an angry mood." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 272, Vol. 9)
