What is the authenticity of the hadith, “O Abu Dharr, I see that you are weak… the hadith,” and does it imply that a judge must be strong in his personality?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: What is the authenticity of the hadith “Do not be appointed over two people,” and does it imply that a judge must be strong in his personality?

Answer:
Yes. The hadith is authentic. The hadith is authentic. This is not a disparagement of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). Rather, it is advice from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) to him. He did not have the aptitude. He did not have the aptitude to assume the responsibility. These are gifts that Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) places in people. Abu Dharr is among the best of the Companions. The best of the Companions among the foremost pioneers, the emigrants, the ascetics, the most God-fearing, and the scholars. But he did not have the gift of authority, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised him against taking on authority because he did not have the ability to carry it out. Yes.
