Sunan Ibn Majah — 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
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:

➊
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.

➋
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.

➌
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.
