The reciter: Chapter: The reward of one who judges with wisdom, by the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers. ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولئك هم الفاسقون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:44]
.

The Shaykh : His saying: “Chapter: The reward of one who judges with wisdom.” What is wisdom? Wisdom is what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) brought, by the saying of Allah, the Exalted:
And Allah has sent down to you the Book and wisdom وأنزل الله إليك الكتاب والحكمة
And He said in describing Him:
teach them the Book and wisdom يعلمهم الكتاب والحكمة
[Al-Baqarah 2:129]
So what the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) brought is wisdom, and whoever judges by it has a reward, as will be mentioned in the hadith. And His saying:
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers. ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولئك هم الفاسقون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:44]
This verse was repeated three times in three ways:
The first:
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers. ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولئك هم الكافرون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:44]
It was mentioned after the mention that Allah sent down the Torah, by which the prophets who submitted judged those who followed Judaism, and the rabbis and the priests.
The second:
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers. ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولئك هم الظالمون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:44]
It was mentioned after the mention of retaliation and the obligation of equal retribution.
The third:
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers. ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل الله فأولئك هم الفاسقون
[Al-Ma'idah 5:44]
It was mentioned in the context of departing from what is obligatory, such as the revealed Book.
