Virtues and Biography of the Prophet (peace be upon him)
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is the best of mankind
Hadith 627
478- وبه: عن أم سلمة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إنما أنا بشر وإنكم تختصمون إلى ولعل بعضكم أن يكون ألحن بحجته من بعض فأقضي له على نحو ما أسمع منه فمن قضيت له بشيء من حق أخيه فلا يأخذ منه شيئا فإنما أقطع له قطعة من النار.
It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am only a human being, and you bring your disputes to me. It may be that some of you are more eloquent in presenting their argument than others, so I judge in their favor according to what I hear. So, if I decide in favor of someone, giving him a right that belongs to his brother, then he should not take anything from it, for I am only giving him a piece of fire."
