3573. It was narrated from Ibn Buraidah, from his father, that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Judges are of three types, one who will be in Paradise and two who will be in the Fire. As for the one who will be in Paradise, it is a man who knows the truth and judges accordingly. And a man who knows the truth, but is unjust in his judgment, he will be in the Fire, and a man who judges the people when he is ignorant will be in the Fire." (Da'if) Abū Dāwūd said: This is the most correct thing concerning this, meaning the Hadīth of Ibn Buraidah: "Judges are of three types."

When they brought his estate, a silver cup with lines of gold was missing. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ made them swear an oath, then the cup was found in Makkah. They said: “We bought it from Tamīm and 'Adiyy.” Two men who were heirs of the Sahmī man stood up and swore: “Our testimony is truer than theirs; the cup belongs to our companion.” Then the following Verse was revealed concerning them: “O you who believe! When death approaches any of you, and you make a bequest, (then take) the testimony.”[1]

3607. It was narrated from 'Umārah bin Khuzaimah that his paternal uncle, who was one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, told him that the Prophet ﷺ bought a horse from a Bedouin, and asked him to go with him so that he could give him the price of the horse. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ walked briskly, but the Bedouin walked slowly, and people started intercepting him and making him offer for the horse, not realizing that the Prophet ﷺ had already bought it. The Bedouin called the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and said: "If you want to buy this horse then confirm it, otherwise I shall sell it." The Prophet ﷺ stopped when he heard the call of the Bedouin, and said: "Did I not buy it from you?" He said: "No, by Allāh, I did not sell it to you." The Prophet ﷺ said: "Yes, I did buy it from you." The Bedouin started to say: "Bring a witness." Khuzaimah bin Thābit said: "I bear witness that you sold it to him." The Prophet ﷺ turned to Khuzaimah and said: "On what basis do you bear witness?" He said: "Because I believe you, O Messenger of Allāh." The Prophet ﷺ decreed that the testimony of Khuzaimah was equivalent to the testimony of two men. (Sahih)

I rode and went ahead of them to the Prophet ﷺ. I said: 'Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allāh, and the mercy of Allāh and His blessings. Your troops came to us and captured us, but we had already accepted Islam, and we cut the sides of the ears of our cattle.' When Banū Al-'Anbar came, the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'Do you have any proof that you had accepted Islam before you were captured during these days?' I said: 'Yes.' He said: 'Who is your witness?' I said: 'Samurah, a man from Banū Al-'Anbar,' and another man whom he named. The man bore witness, but Samurah refused to bear witness. The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: 'He has refused to bear witness, so you may swear an oath with your other witness.' I said: 'Yes.' He asked me to swear an oath, and I swore by Allāh that we had accepted Islam on such and such a day, and we had cut the sides of the ears of our cattle. The Prophet of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Go and take half of their wealth, but do not touch their children. Were it not that Allāh, Most High, does not like efforts to be wasted, we would not have taken even a rope from you.'" Az-Zubaib said: "My mother called me and said: 'This man took my rug.' I went to the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ and told him, and he said to me: 'Detain him.' I collared him and stood with him where we were, and the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ looked at us standing there, and said: 'What do you intend to do with your prisoner?' I let him go, and the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ stood up and said to the man: 'Give this man back his mother's rug that you took from her.' He said: 'O Prophet of Allāh, it is no longer in my possession.' So the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ took the man's sword, and gave it to me, and he said to the man: 'Go and give him some Ṣā' of food as well.' So he gave me some Ṣā' of barley as well." (Ḍa'īf)

3637. ‘Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair narrated that a man disputed with Az-Zubair about the streams of the Ḥarrāh which they used for irrigation. The Anṣārī said: “Let the water flow,” but Az-Zubair refused. The Prophet ﷺ said to Az-Zubair: “Water (your trees), O Az-Zubair, then let the water flow to your neighbor.” The Anṣārī got angry and said: “O Messenger of Allāh, it is because he is your cousin!” The face of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ changed color, then he said: “Water (your trees) then block the water until it backs up to the bottom of the wall.” Az-Zubair said: “By Allāh, I think this verse was revealed concerning that: But no, by your Lord, they can have no Faith, until they make you judge...”[1] (Sahīh)
