Hadith #252
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِى أَبِي عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أ
ُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَيَّ وَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَلْحَنُ بِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَإِنَّمَا أَقْضِي لَهُ بِمَا يَقُولُ فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ حَقِّ أَخِيهِ بِقَوْلِهِ فَإِنَّمَا أَقْطَعُ لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنْ النَّارِ فَلَا يَأْخُذْهَا

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'You bring your disputes to me, and perhaps some of you are more eloquent in presenting their case than others. I judge based on what I hear. So whoever I judge in his favor with something that rightfully belongs to his brother — it is only a piece of Fire I am cutting for him, so let him not take it.'
