Hadith 1257
- " إنكم تختصمون إلي، وإنما أنا بشر، ولعل بعضكم أن يكون ألحن بحجته من بعض وإنما أقضي لكم على نحو مما أسمع منكم، فمن قضيت له من حق أخيه شيئا فلا يأخذه، فإنما أقطع له قطعة من النار يأتي بها يوم القيامة ".
Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You people bring your disputes to me, and I am only a human being. It is possible that one of you presents his argument more clearly than the other, and I judge according to what I hear. (Remember) if I give someone a decision in his favor that actually belongs to his brother, then he should not take it, because I am cutting off a piece of fire for him and giving it to him, and he will bring it with him on the Day of Resurrection."
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."
