Chapter 99 | When the Imams will Rise with Divine Authority They will Judge Among People as David and his People had Done that They will not Ask any Witness to Testify (May the peace and blessings of Allah be up on them)
4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ جُعَيْدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بن الحسين (عَلَيْهما السَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ بِأَيِّ حُكْمٍ تَحْكُمُونَ قَالَ حُكْمِ آلِ دَاوُدَ فَإِنْ أَعْيَانَا شَيْءٌ تَلَقَّانَا بِهِ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ.
4. Muhammad ibn Ahmad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Khalid from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Yahya al-Halabi from ‘Imran ibn A‘yan from Ju‘ayd al-Hamadani who has said the following. “Once I asked Ali ibn al-Husayn , “By what mean do you issue judgments?” The Imam said, “We judge by the laws of Allah and the judgment of the family of David. If a case would frustrate us the Holy Spirit inspires us with its laws.”
