«أَيَّدَ اللَّهُ الْقَاضِيَ كَمَا أَيَّدَ بِهِ الْمُتَقَاضِيَ»
May God strengthen the judge, just as He has strengthened the litigant through him.
The elder begins with ayyada Allāhu al-qāḍī, a formal prayer for the judge. The speech is courteous, but also strategic: it casts the listener as a source of fairness whose attention the claimant seeks.
The shared root in al-qāḍī / al-mutaqāḍī ties the blessing to the courtroom. Such deference may establish rapport; it does not prove the claim. Polite opening and evidentiary support must remain distinct.
Practice: Is the blessing evidence for the case? No; it is a respectful introduction.
