When news of any matter reaches them they spread it about,
whether it is of a reassuring or disquieting nature. If they had only
referred it to the Messenger and those in command among them,
those among them able to discern the truth about it would have
had proper knowledge of it. If it were not for Allah's favour to
you and His mercy, all but a very few of you would have followed
satan. (Qur'an, 4:83)
No, by your Lord, they are not believers until they make you their
judge in the disputes that break out between them, and then find
no resistance within themselves to what you decide and submit
themselves completely. (Qur'an, 4:65)

THERE IS CERTAINLY GOOD IN HIS
JUDGEMENTS, THOSE WHO DISOBEY HIM
EVENTUALLY SUFFER GREAT MISFORTUNE
When Talut marched out with the army, he said, 'Allah will test you
with a river. Anyone who drinks from it is not with me. But anyone
who does not taste it is with me – except for him who merely
scoops up a little in his hand.' But they drank from it – except for
a few of them. Then when he and those who believed with him had
crossed it, they said, 'We do not have the strength to face Goliath
and his troops today.' But those who were sure that they were
going to meet Allah said, How many a small force has triumphed
over a much greater one by Allah's permission! Allah is with the
steadfast. (Qur'an, 2:249)
He (Musa) said, 'What prevented you following me, Harun, when
you saw that they had gone astray? Did you too, then, disobey
my command?' (Qur'an, 20:92-93)
No, by your Lord, they are not believers until they make you their
judge in the disputes that break out between them, and then find
no resistance within themselves to what you decide and submit
themselves completely. (Qur'an, 4:65)
