4- وَعَنْهُ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ فِي كِتَابِ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّ نَبِيّاً مِنَ الأنْبِيَاءِ شَكَا إِلَى رَبِّهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَقْضِي فِيمَا لَمْ أَشْهَدْ وَلَمْ أَرَ قَالَ فَأَوْحَى اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ احْكُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ بِكِتَابِي وَأَضِفْهُمْ إِلَى اسْمِي فَحَلِّفْهُمْ بِهِ وَقَالَ هَذَا لِمَنْ لَمْ تَقُمْ لَهُ بَيِّنَةٌ.

4. It is narrated from the narrator of the previous Hadith from al-Nadr ibn Suwayd from Hisham ibn Salim from Sulayman ibn Khalid who has narrated the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that it is in the book of Ali , that one of the Prophets complained before his Lord saying, ‘O Lord, how can I judge among people what I have not witnessed?’ Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, then sent him revelation that said, ‘Judge among them by means of my book and making them to swear by My name.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘This is in the case of those who cannot establish evidence and testimony.’”
