Musnad Abi Ya'la 6897 — two men came to the Prophet ﷺ disputing
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْأَزْدِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ اللَّيْثِيُّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ مَوْلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ : جَاءَ رَجُلَانِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي مَوَارِيثَ وَأَشْيَاءَ قَدْ دَرَسَتْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّمَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمَا بِرَأْيِي مَا لَمْ يَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ ، فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحُجَّةٍ أُرَاهَا ، فَاقْتَطَعَ بِهَا قِطْعَةً ظُلْمًا ، فَإِنَّمَا يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا قِطْعَةً مِنَ النَّارِ إِسْطَامًا يَأْتِي بِهِ فِي عُنُقِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، قَالَتْ : بَكَى الرَّجُلَانِ ، وَقَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، حَقِّي هَذَا الَّذِي أَطْلُبُ لِصَاحِبِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَا ، وَلَكِنِ اذْهَبَا فَتَوَخَّيَا ثُمَّ اسْتَهِمَا ، ثُمَّ لِيُحَلِّلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمَا صَاحِبَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that two men came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) disputing about inheritances and some things that had been effaced (due to the passage of time). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I judge between you by my own opinion as long as no revelation has been sent down to me. So whomever I rule in favour of on the basis of an argument that I consider (sound), and he thereby takes some portion wrongfully, he is in reality taking a piece of the Fire, which will be brought hung around his neck on the Day of Resurrection like a blazing ember." Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that (on hearing this) both men began to weep, and each of them said: O Messenger of Allah, my right that I was claiming now belongs to this companion of mine. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Not so; rather, go, both of you, and seek out (what is right), then cast lots, and after that let each of you release his companion (from any remaining claim) and make it lawful for him."
