Hadith 93
Hadith.3236 - A man stayed as a guest with Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) for a few days. Then he presented a legal dispute to him, which he had not previously mentioned to Imam Ali (as). So Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said to him: "Are you a litigant?" He replied: "Yes." Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) said: "Then leave us, for the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) forbade hosting a litigant except when his opponent is also present."
3236 - وَ إِنَّ رَجُلاً نَزَلَ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَمَكَثَ عِنْدَهُ أَيَّاماً ثُمَّ تَقَدَّمَ إِلَيْهِ فِي حُكُومَةٍ لَمْ يَذْكُرْهَا لِعَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَلِيٌّ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ "أَ خَصْمٌ أَنْتَ" قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ "تَحَوَّلْ عَنَّا فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اَللَّهِ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ نَهَى أَنْ يُضَافَ اَلْخَصْمُ إِلاَّ وَ مَعَهُ خَصْمُهُ".
