Hadith 75
۞
Hadith.3217 - Mualla ibn Khunays narrated from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as).
He said
I asked Imam (as) about the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic:
"Indeed, Allah (swt) commands you to render trusts to their owners and when you judge between people, to judge with justice." (Surah An-Nisa 4:58)
Imam (as) replied: "It is incumbent upon the Imam (as) to hand over what is with him to the next Imam (as) who comes after him. The Imams (as) have been commanded to judge with justice, and the people have been commanded to follow them."
3217 - وَ رَوَى مُعَلَّى بْنُ خُنَيْسٍ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لَهُ قَوْلُ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
إِنَّ اَللّٰهَ يَأْمُرُكُمْ أَنْ تُؤَدُّوا اَلْأَمٰانٰاتِ إِلىٰ أَهْلِهٰا وَ إِذٰا حَكَمْتُمْ بَيْنَ اَلنّٰاسِ أَنْ تَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ
قَالَ "عَلَى اَلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَدْفَعَ مَا عِنْدَهُ إِلَى اَلْإِمَامِ اَلَّذِي بَعْدَهُ وَ أُمِرَتِ اَلْأَئِمَّةُ أَنْ يَحْكُمُوا بِالْعَدْلِ وَ أُمِرَ اَلنَّاسُ أَنْ يَتَّبِعُوهُمْ".
