Hadith of Umm Salamah (RA), the wife of the Prophet (SAW)

حديث أم سلمة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Hadith 1156:146

Waki’ narrated to us, he said: Hisham ibn ‘Urwah narrated to us, from his father, from Zaynab bint Umm Salamah, from Umm Salamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "You bring your disputes to me, and I am only a human being. It may be that some of you are more eloquent in their argument than others, and I only judge between you according to what I hear. So, whoever I judge in his favor regarding something of his brother’s right, let him not take it, for I am only cutting out for him a piece of the Fire which he will bring with him on the Day of Resurrection."

حدثنا وكيع، قال: حدثنا هشام بن عروة، عن أبيه، عن زينب بنت أم سلمة، عن أم سلمة، قالت: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " إنكم تحتكمون إلي، وإنما أنا بشر، ولعل بعضكم أن يكون ألحن بحجته من بعض، وإنما أقضي بينكم على نحو ما أسمع، فمن قضيت له من حق أخيه شيئا، فلا يأخذه، فإنما أقطع له قطعة من النار يأتي بها يوم القيامة "
