Musnad Abi Ya'la 7027 — I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when two men
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ الْعُكْلِيُّ قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنِي أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - تَقُولُ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - جَالِسَةً ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلَانِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ فِي أَشْيَاءَ قَدْ دَرَسَتْ وَبَادَتْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : إِنَّمَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمَا فِي شَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ شَيْءٌ ، مَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحُجَّةٍ أُرَاهَا ، فَأَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا مِنْ مَالِ أَخِيهِ ، فَإِنَّمَا يَقْتَطِعُ بِهَا قِطْعَةً مِنَ النَّارِ تَكُونُ إِسْطَامًا فِي رَقَبَتِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَبَكَى الرَّجُلَانِ ، وَقَالَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، حَقِّي الَّذِي أَطْلُبُ لِأَخِي ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : لَا وَلَكِنِ اذْهَبَا فَاقْتَسِمَا وَتَوَخَّيَا ، ثُمَّ لِيُحَلِّلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمَا صَاحِبَهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when two men came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) with a dispute about things that had been effaced because a long time had passed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I judge between you in matters about which no revelation has come down to me. So if I rule in someone's favour on the basis of an argument that I (apparently) consider sound, and by it he takes a portion of his brother's wealth, then he is in reality taking a piece of the Fire, which will become a collar around his neck on the Day of Resurrection." On hearing this, both men began to weep, and (each) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! My right that I am claiming belongs to my brother." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Not so; rather, go, both of you, and divide (the property by mutual consent) and aim for what is right and fair, then let each of you release his companion (from his claim, that is, forgive him)."
