Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1114
حديث أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، زَوْجِ النَبِيِّ ﷺ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ خُصُومَةً بِبَابِ حُجْرَتِهِ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ، وَإِنَّه يَأْتِينِي الْخَصْمُ، ⦗١٩٣⦘ فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكونَ أَبْلَغَ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَأَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ صَدَقَ فَأَقْضِيَ لَهُ بِذلِكَ؛ فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحَقِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا أَوْ فَلْيَتْرُكْهَا.
Umm Salamah Narrated from:
Allâh’s Messenger ﷺ heard some people quarrelling at the door of his dwelling. He came out and said, “I am only a human being, and opponents come to me (to settle their problems); may be someone amongst you can present his case more eloquently than the other, whereby I may consider him true and give a verdict in his favour. So, if I give the right of a Muslim to another by mistake, then it is only a portion of (Hell) Fire, he has the option to take or give up (before the Day of Resurrection).” ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 638, Vol. 3 )
