2680. Narrated Umm Salama رضي الله عنها: Once Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "You people present your cases to me and some of you may be more eloquent and persuasive in presenting their arguments. So, if I give some one's right to another (wrongly) because of the latter's (tricky) presentation of the case, I am really giving him a piece of fire; so he should not take it." by revealing the Divine Verse : ‘Verily, those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allāh’s Covenant and their oaths.. (up to).. a painful torment’” (V.3:77) Al-Ash‘ath met me and asked, “What did Abdullāh tell you today?” I said, “Such and such.” He said, “The Verse was revealed regarding my case.”
