حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَوْهَبٍ، أَنَّ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ لاِبْنِ عُمَرَ اذْهَبْ فَاقْضِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَوَتُعَافِينِي يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَمَا تَكْرَهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَقَدْ كَانَ أَبُوكَ يَقْضِي قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏

"‏ مَنْ كَانَ قَاضِيًا فَقَضَى بِالْعَدْلِ فَبِالْحَرِيِّ أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ مِنْهُ كَفَافًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَمَا أَرْجُو بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ

'Abdullah bin Mawhab narrated that 'Uthman said to Ibn 'Umar:

"Go and judge between the people." So he said: "Perhaps you can excuse me (from that) O Commander of the Believers!" He said: "Why do you have an aversion for that when your father judged?" He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'Whoever was a judge and judged with justice, it still would have been better for him to have turned away from it completely.' What do I want after that?'" (Daif).

قَوْلُهُ : ( فَاقْضِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ) أَيْ اِقْبَلْ الْقَضَاءَ بَيْنَهُمْ ( قَالَ أَوَتُعَافِينِي ) بِالْوَاوِ بَعْدَ الْهَمْزَةِ وَالْمَعْطُوفُ عَلَيْهِ مَحْذُوفٌ. أَيْ أَتَرْحَمُ عَلَيَّ وَتُعَافِينِي ( مِنْ ذَلِكَ ) أَيْ الْقَضَاءِ ( فَبِالْحُرِّيِّ ) بِكَسْرِ الرَّاءِ وَتَشْدِيدِ الْيَاءِ قَالَ فِي النِّهَايَةِ فُلَانٌ حَرِيٌّ بِكَذَا وَحَرِيٌّ بِكَذَا أَوْ بِالْحَرِيِّ أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا أَيْ جَدِيرٌ وَخَلِيقٌ وَالْمُثَقَّلُ يُثَنَّى وَيُجْمَعُ وَيُؤَنَّثُ تَقُولُ حَرِيَّانِ وَحَرِيُّونَ وَحَرِيَّةٌ وَالْمُخَفَّفُ يَقَعُ عَلَى الْوَاحِدِ وَالِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْجَمْعِ وَالْمُذَكَّرُ وَالْمُؤَنَّثُ عَلَى حَالَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ لِأَنَّهُ مَصْدَرٌ ( أَنْ يَنْقَلِبَ مِنْهُ كَفَافًا ) قَالَ فِي النِ…
