Hadith 2312

حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ الْقَطَّانِ ، عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عِمْرَانَ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق الشَّيْبَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الْقَاضِي مَا لَمْ يَجُرْ فَإِذَا جَارَ وَكَّلَهُ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ " .
´It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abu Awfa that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Allah is with the judge so long as he is not unjust, but if he rules unjustly, He entrusts him to himself.”

Explanation & Benefits

Benefits and Issues:


When a person intends to do a righteous deed, he receives success (tawfiq) and help from Allah.
Similarly, if a judge (qadi) wishes to make a correct judgment, Allah, exalted is He, guides him and makes it easy for him to reach the truth. Even if, despite good intention, he makes a mistake, that mistake is forgiven.


When a judge’s intention is to act unjustly, he is deprived of Allah’s support and assistance.
As a result, Satan gets an opportunity to deceive him, and the judge, by making an incorrect judgment, commits oppression.


Every good deed is accomplished by Allah’s success (tawfiq) and grace, therefore, one should continue to seek Allah’s help in fulfilling obligatory duties.
