Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I am a human being. It is possible that one of you may be more eloquent in presenting his case than another, so if I give a judgment in his favor which actually belongs to his brother, then I have only cut out a piece of Hellfire for him."

Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates this statement of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him): "I am a human being. You people bring your disputes to me. It is possible that someone may present his case more eloquently than the other, so if I give a decision in someone's favor regarding something that actually belongs to his brother, then I have only cut out a piece of Hell for him."
