Umdat al-Ahkam (al-Maqdisi) 378عمدة الأحكام 378
عن أم سلمة رضي الله عنها «أن رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - سمع جلبة خصم بباب حجرته، فخرج إليهم، فقال: ألا إنما أنا بشر، وإنما يأتيني الخصم، فلعل بعضكم أن يكون أبلغ من بعض، فأحسب أنه صادق، فأقضي له. فمن قضيت له بحق مسلم فإنما هي قطعة من نار، فليحملها أو يذرها».
Umm Salama, the wife of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ), reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard the clamour of contenders at the door of his apartment. He went to them, and said: I am a human being and the claimants bring to me (the dispute) and perhaps some of them are more eloquent than the others. I judge him to be on the right, and thus decide in his favcur. So he whom I, by my judgment, (give the undue share) out of the right of a Muslim,. I give him a portion of Fire; he may burden himself with it or abandon it.
