“The Messenger of God (SA) sent me to Yemen,
فَقُلتُ : يا رَسولَ اللّهِ ، تَبعَثُني
so I said: ‘O Messenger of God (SA), do you send me forth,
وأنَا شابٌّ أقضي بَينَهُم
while I am, still a young, to judge between them
ولا أدري مَا القَضاءُ ؟
when I do not know how to pass judgement?’
فَضَرَبَ بِيَدِهِ في صَدري ،
So he tapped me on the chest
ثُمَّ قالَ : «اللّهُمَّ اهدِ قَلبَهُ ، وثَبِّت لِسانَهُ» ،
and said: ‘O God! Guide his heart and strengthen his tongue’.
فَما شَكَكتُ بَعدُ في قَضاءٍ بَينَ اثنَينِ .
I have never entertained a doubt about the judgement between two individuals since then.”

يا رَبِّ إنَّ عَلِيّا قَضى بِقَضائِكَ .
‘O Lord, Ali has judged according to Your judgement.’ ”
