حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، أَخْبَرَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَخْنَسِيِّ ، عَنْ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، وَالْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

مَنْ جُعِلَ قَاضِيًا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ ، فَقَدْ ذُبِحَ بِغَيْرِ سِكِّينٍ
