1141. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When a man has two wives and he is not just between them, he will come on the Day of Judgement with one side drooping." (Da'if) (Abū Eīsā said:) This Hadīth was only narrated (like this) by Hammām bin Yaḥya from Qatādah. Hiṣhām Ad-Dastawā'ī narrated it from Qatādah who said: "It was said." And we do not know of this Hadīth to be Marfū' except from the narration of Hammām, and Hammām is a trustworthy Hāfiz.
١١٤١ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؛ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ الرَّجُلِ امْرَأَتَانِ فَلَمْ يَعْدِلْ بَيْنَهُمَا» جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَشِقُّهُ سَاقِطٌ. وَإِنَّمَا أَسْنَدَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، وَرَوَاهُ هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ قَالَ: كَانَ يُقَالُ. وَلَا نَعْرِفُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مَرْفُوعًا إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ هَمَّامٍ، وَهَمَّامٌ ثِقَةٌ حَافِظٌ.

This is an example of a punishment for wrongdoing in this world. A person who does not treat his wives with justice on the Day of Judgement will come with one side drooping, as described in the narration, moreover he will be disgraced before the people on that day.
