You said this three times. As long as they judge, they should judge with justice, and when kindness and mercy are sought from them, they should show mercy, and when they make a covenant, they should fulfill it.

Causing Harm to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ
Hadith 32
وَعَنْ خَفَافٍ بْنِ إِيمَاءِ بْنِ رَحَضَةَ الْغِفَارِي، قَالَ: صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الصُّبْحَ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَه مِن الرَّكْعَةِ الآخِرَةِ، قَالَ: لَعَنَ اللهُ لِحْيَانًا ، وَرِعْلًا، وَذَكْوَانَ، وَعُصِيَّةَ عَصَتِ اللهِ وَرَسُولَهُ، اَسْلَمُ سَالَمَهَا اللهُ، وَغِفَارٌ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهَا ، ثُمَّ وَقَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم سَاجِدًا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَرَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي أَنَا لَسْتُ قُلْتُهُ وَلَكِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّوَجَلَّ قَالَهُ.
“And it is narrated from Hazrat Khuffaf bin Umaa Ghafari (RA) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the morning prayer and we were with him. When he raised his head from the last rak’ah, he said: May Allah curse the tribes of Lahyan, Ral, Dhakwan, and Asiyah. They have disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. May Allah protect the tribe of Aslam, and may Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar. (After saying this) he then went into prostration, and after giving the salam, he addressed the people: O people! These words were not spoken by me, but Allah Almighty has spoken them.”
Condemnation of Severing Ties of Kinship

وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ : لَيْسَ شَمًّى أطِيعُ اللَّهَ فِيْهِ أَعْجَلَ ثَوَابًا مِنْ صِلَةِ الرَّحِمَ وَلَيْسَ شَمًّى أَعْجَلَ عِقَابًا مِنَ الْبَغْيِ وَقَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ ، وَالْيَمِينُ الْفَاجِرَةُ تَدَعُ الدِّيَارَ بلاقع.
