2315. Abu Hâshim said: "Were it not for the Hadith of Ibn Buraidah from his father, from the Prophet ﷺ who said: Judges are of three types, two of whom will be in Hell and one will be in Paradise. The man who knows the truth and rules in accordance with it, will be in Paradise. The man who passes judgment on the people in ignorance will be in Hell, and the man who is unjust in judgment will be in Hell' — we would have said that if the judge does his best he will be in Paradise." (Da'if)

Commentary
a. It is incorrect to give a decision after a minor hearing without the proper investigation in order to verify the truth.
b. When it is certain that such and such party is in the right, then giving a decision in favor of the other party is injustice. Its chastisement is Hell. This injustice may sometimes give a temporary, worldly benefit and this type of benefit is a part of bribery, which results in a curse. (See Hadith: 2313)
