Note 2
(2) Regarding the saying: No judge should rule between two people while he is angry: This means it is not befitting for a judge to rule while angry, as it prevents him from reasoning and reflecting. Likewise, in extreme heat, extreme cold, hunger, thirst, or illness, if he rules in these conditions, his ruling is valid but disliked. As stated in al-Marqah and al-Alamkiriyya.

(٢) قوله: لا يقضيَّنَّ حكم بين اثنين وهو غضبان: أي لا ينبغي للحاكم أن يحكم في حالالغضب؛ لأنه يمنعه عن الاجتهاد والفكر، وكذلك في الحَرّ الشديد والبرد الشديد والجوع والعطش والمرض، فإن حكم في هذه الأحوال نفذحكمه مع الكراهية. قاله في (المرقاة) وكذا في (العالمكيرية)
