حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ رَاشِدٍ ، قَالَ : جَلَسْنَا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا فَجَلَسَ ،فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ حَالَتْ شَفَاعَتُهُ دُونَ حَدٍّ مِنْ حُدُودِ اللَّهِ فَقَدْ ضَادَّ اللَّهَ ، وَمَنْ خَاصَمَ فِي بَاطِلٍ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُهُ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْزِعَ عَنْهُ ، وَمَنْ قَالَ فِي مُؤْمِنٍ مَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ أَسْكَنَهُ اللَّهُ رَدْغَةَ الْخَبَالِ ، حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِمَّا قَالَ " .
Yahya ibn Rashid said: We were sitting waiting for Abdullah ibn Umar who came out to us and sat. He then said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone's intercession intervenes as an obstacle to one of the punishments prescribed by Allah, he has opposed Allah; if anyone disputes knowingly about something which is false, he remains in the displeasure of Allah till he desists, and if anyone makes an untruthful accusation against a Muslim, he will be made by Allah to dwell in the corrupt fluid flowing from the inhabitants of Hell till he retracts his statement.

Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: This also means that when a case reaches the judge, then to become an obstacle in the implementation of the prescribed punishments (hudud) or to intercede is forbidden (haram).

Benefits and Issues:
➊
If the heirs do not pay off the debt, the responsibility remains upon the deceased, due to which he will face difficulty on the Day of Resurrection.
➋
The importance of the rights of people (huquq al-‘ibad) is very great.
➌
The manner of repayment through good deeds is that, according to the amount of debt, the debtor’s good deeds will be given to the creditor. If the debtor does not have good deeds, or they are less than the debt, then the creditor’s sins, to that extent, will be placed upon the debtor.
➍
After performing good deeds, one should protect them from being wasted, and avoid such actions that cause good deeds to be lost, for example: oppression, envy, reminding others of favors after doing good to them, and so on.
