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.
