Lady Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that two Ansari men came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), between whom there was an old dispute over inheritance. Neither of them had any evidence. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You bring your disputes to me, but I am only a human being. It is possible that one of you may be more eloquent in presenting his case than the other, so I decide in his favor according to what I hear. So, if I grant someone a right that belongs to his brother, he should not take it, for I am actually cutting a piece of fire for him, which he will carry around his neck on the Day of Resurrection as a burning brand." The narrator says: Both men began to weep and said, "I give my right to my brother." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you wish to do so, then go and divide the property into two parts with justice and fairness, then draw lots between yourselves, and both of you forgive each other."
