بَابُ إِثْمِ مَنْ خَاصَمَ فِي بَاطِلٍ وَإِنْ حُكِمَ لَهُ بِهِ فِي الظَّاهِرِ وَهَلْ يَحْكُمُ الْقَاضِي بِعِلْمِهِ أَمْ لَا

عن ام سلمة زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال: ((إنكم تختصمون إلي (زاد في رواية: إنما انا بشر) لعل بعضكم الحن بحجته من بعض، وإنما اقضي له بما يقول، فمن قضيت له بشيء من حق اخيه بقوله، فإنما اقطع له قطعة من النار، فلا ياخذها))
It is narrated from the wife of the Prophet, Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am a human being, and you bring your disputes to me. Therefore, it is possible that one of you may be more eloquent in presenting arguments than another, and I judge according to what I hear. So if I give someone a decision in his favor that rightfully belongs to his brother, then he should not take it, because in such a case I am cutting a piece of fire for him.
