Hadith 1258
- " إنما أنا بشر وإنكم تختصمون إلي ولعل بعضكم أن يكون ألحن بحجته من بعض فأقضي له على نحو ما أسمع منه. فمن قضيت له من حق أخيه بشيء فلا يأخذ منه شيئا فإنما أقطع له قطعة من النار ".
It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I am only a human being. You bring your disputes to me, and it is possible that one of you may present his arguments more clearly than the other. I judge according to what I hear. (Remember that) if I give someone a right that belongs to his brother, then he should not take it, because in that case, I am giving him a piece of fire."
