7185. Narrated Umm Salama: The Prophet ﷺ heard the voices of some people quarrelling near the door of his dwelling, so he went to them and said, "I am only a human being; and litigants with cases of disputes come to me, and may be one of them presents his case eloquently in a more convincing and impressive way than the other, whereby I may consider that he is truthful and pass a judgement in his favour. So if I give a Muslim's right to another (by mistake), then that (property) is a piece of (Hell) Fire, and it is up to him to take it or leave it.” [See also Hadith No. 7181]

٧١٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ: أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ، عَنْ أُمِّهَا أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ: «سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ جَلَبَةَ خِصَامٍ عِنْدَ بَابِهِ، فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ، وَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِينِي الْخَصْمُ، فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضًا أَنْ يَكُونَ أَبْلَغَ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، أَقْضِي لَهُ بِذَلِكَ، وَأَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ، فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحَقِّ مُسْلِمٍ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا أَوْ لِيَدَعْهَا.»
