فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّ نَبِيّاً مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ شَكَا إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِيمَا لَمْ أَشْهَدْ وَ لَمْ أَرَ قَالَ فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِكِتَابِي وَ أَضِفْهُمْ إِلَى اسْمِي فَحَلِّفْهُمْ بِهِ وَ قَالَ هَذَا لِمَنْ لَمْ تَقُمْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ .
Translation
And from him, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Suleyman, Bin Khalid, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘In the Book of Ali<sup>asws</sup>, a Prophet<sup>as</sup> from the Prophets<sup>as</sup> complained to his<sup>as</sup> Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, so he<sup>as</sup> said: ‘O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! How can I<sup>as</sup> judge with regards to what I<sup>as</sup> did not witness and did not see?’ So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto him<sup>as</sup>: “Judge between them by My<sup>azwj</sup> Book, and add them to My<sup>azwj</sup> Name, so get them to swear by it’. And he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is for the one for him the proof cannot be established’.
