رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: مَرَّ بِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ وَ أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ اَلْقَاضِي بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اَلْغَدِ فَقَالَ لِي "مَا مَجْلِسٌ رَأَيْتُكَ فِيهِ أَمْسِ" قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ هَذَا اَلْقَاضِيَ بِيَ مُكْرِمٌ فَرُبَّمَا جَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي "وَ مَا يُؤْمِنُكَ أَنْ تَنْزِلَ اَللَّعْنَةُ فَتَعُمَّكَ مَعَهُ ".
Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated: Abu Jafar Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir عليه السلام passed by me while I was sitting with the judge in Madinah. The next day, I went to him, and Imam عليه السلام said to me: "What was the gathering I saw you in yesterday?" I said to Him عليه السلام: "May I be your ransom! This judge honors me, so I sometimes sit with him." Imam عليه السلام said to me: "And what ensures you that the curse will not descend and encompass you along with him?"

وَ رُوِيَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ: "إِنَّ شَرَّ اَلْبِقَاعِ دُورُ اَلْأُمَرَاءِ اَلَّذِينَ لاَ يَقْضُونَ بِالْحَقِّ".
And it has been narrated in another report: "Indeed, the worst of places are the courts of rulers who do not judge with justice."
- Ṣaḥīḥ al-Faqīh
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِنَّ اَلنَّوَاوِيسَ شَكَتْ إِلَى اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ شِدَّةَ حَرِّهَا فَقَالَ لَهَا عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ "أُسْكُتِي فَإِنَّ مَوَاضِعَ اَلْقُضَاةِ أَشَدُّ حَرّاً مِنْكِ" ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "Indeed, the graves complained to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, about their intense heat. So Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, said to them: 'Be silent, for the places of judges are hotter than you.'"
