It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to Yemen and said: "Teach them the rulings of the Shari'ah and judge between them." He said: I have no knowledge of judging. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) struck his chest with his hand and supplicated: 'Allahumma ihdihi al-qada'' (O Allah, guide him and grant him understanding in judging). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that two men brought their dispute to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Amr bin al-As: "You judge between them." He said: O Messenger of Allah! Shall I judge in your presence? He said: "Yes, on the condition that if you judge correctly, you will have ten rewards, and if you strive (make ijtihad) but err, you will have one reward." This hadith is sahih al-isnad (authentic in its chain), but the two Shaykhs did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Iyad bin Himar (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say in his sermon: "The people of Paradise are of three kinds: a ruler who is just, gives charity and is granted success in good deeds; second, a merciful man whose heart is tender towards every relative; and third, a poor man who is chaste ('afif)." This hadith is sahih al-isnad (authentic in its chain), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, those who act justly in this world will be on pulpits of pearls on the Day of Resurrection, before the Most Merciful, the Mighty and Majestic, in return for their justice in the world." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), and both of them have recorded it in their books.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people of oppression and their helpers will be in the Fire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaydullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Listen, O people! Allah Almighty does not accept the prayer of an imam (ruler) who judged by other than what Allah has revealed." And (the narrator) mentioned the rest of the hadith. This hadith is sahih al-isnad (authentic in its chain), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Anyone who is made a leader over ten or more people and does not act justly among them will come on the Day of Resurrection bound in fetters and shackles." This hadith is sahih al-isnad (authentic in its chain), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it, and we have no excuse at all for leaving the hadiths of Makhramah bin Bukayr.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usamah bin Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people said to him: Speak to this man (Uthman bin Affan, may Allah be pleased with him) on our behalf! He said: We have spoken to him, short of opening a door of which we would be the first to open, and I do not say about anyone, "Your leaders are the best of you," after something I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "The governor (ruler) who used to be obeyed in disobedience to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will be brought, then it will be commanded that he be taken to the Fire, and he will be thrown into it, and his intestines will spill out, and he will go around in them just as a donkey goes around a millstone. Then those people who used to obey him will come to him and say to him: 'O so-and-so! Where is that (good) which you used to command us?!' He will say: 'I used to command you to one thing and myself do the opposite.'" This hadith is sahih al-isnad (authentic in its chain), but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are six people whom I have cursed, and Allah has also cursed them, as has every prophet whose supplication is answered: the one who denies the decree of Allah; the one who adds to the Book of Allah; the one who gains dominance through power and tyranny in order to humiliate the one whom Allah has honoured and to honour the one whom Allah has humiliated; the one who treats as lawful what Allah has made sacred; the one who treats as lawful, concerning my family and descendants, what Allah has made unlawful; and the one who abandons my Sunnah." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
