´['Abdullah] Ibn Abi Al-Awfa narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` "[Indeed] Allah is with the judge as long as he is not unjust. So when he is unjust, He leaves him and he is attended by Shaitan."
Hadith Referenceسنن ترمذي / كتاب الأحكام عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم / 1330
´It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Abu Awfa that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “Allah is with the judge so long as he is not unjust, but if he rules unjustly, He entrusts him to himself.”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ When a person intends to do a righteous deed, he receives success (tawfiq) and help from Allah. Similarly, if a judge (qadi) wishes to make a correct judgment, Allah, exalted is He, guides him and makes it easy for him to reach the truth. Even if, despite good intention, he makes a mistake, that mistake is forgiven.
➋ When a judge’s intention is to act unjustly, he is deprived of Allah’s support and assistance. As a result, Satan gets an opportunity to deceive him, and the judge, by making an incorrect judgment, commits oppression.
➌ Every good deed is accomplished by Allah’s success (tawfiq) and grace, therefore, one should continue to seek Allah’s help in fulfilling obligatory duties.
