Chapter on the Etiquettes of Judgment
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh|Volume 3|Book 1|Chapter 10
وَ قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا كَانَ اَلْحَاكِمُ يَقُولُ لِمَنْ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ لِمَنْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ مَا تَقُولُ مَا تَرَى فَعَلَى ذَلِكَ "لَعْنَةُ اَللّٰهِ وَ اَلْمَلاٰئِكَةِ وَ اَلنّٰاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ" أَلاَّ يَقُومُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ وَ يُجْلِسُهُمَا مَكَانَهُ ".
Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: "If the judge turns to those on his right and left, asking, 'What do you say? What do you think?' then upon him is the curse of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the angels, and all people. He should rise from his seat and let them sit in his place."
