حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ صَالِحٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةَ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَتْهَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ خُصُومَةً بِبَابِ حُجْرَتِهِ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ، وَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِينِي الْخَصْمُ، فَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَبْلَغَ مِنْ بَعْضٍ، فَأَحْسِبُ أَنَّهُ صَادِقٌ فَأَقْضِي لَهُ بِذَلِكَ، فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِحَقِّ مُسْلِمٍ، فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ، فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا أَوْ لِيَتْرُكْهَا»

(the wife of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) heard some people quarreling at the door of his dwelling, so he went out to them and said, “I am only a human being, and litigants with cases of dispute come to me, and someone of you may happen to be more eloquent (in presenting his case) than the other, whereby I may consider that he is truthful and pass a judgment in his favor.

If ever I pass a judgment in favor of somebody whereby he takes a Muslim’s right unjustly, then whatever he takes is nothing but a piece of Fire, and it is up to him to take or leave.”

যাইনাব বিন্ত আবূ সালামাহ (রাঃ) বর্ণনা করেন যে, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সহধর্মিণী উম্মু সালামাহ (রাঃ) নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম থেকে তার কাছে বর্ণনা করেছেন যে, একবার তিনি তাঁর কক্ষের দরজায় ঝগড়া বিবাদের শব্দ শুনতে পেলেন।

এরপর তিনি তাদের কাছে এসে বললেন, আমি তো একজন মানুষ। আমার নিকট বাদী-বিবাদীরা আসে। হয়ত তোমাদের মাঝে কেউ অন্যের তুলনায় কথায় পটু। আমি মনে করি যে সে সত্যবাদী। ফলে আমি তার পক্ষে ফায়সালা করি। কিন্তু আমি যদি কোন মুসলিমের হক অন্য কারো জন্য ফায়সালা করি, তাহলে সেটা এক খন্ড আগুন ব্যতীত আর কিছু নয়। কাজেই সে চাইলে তা গ্রহণ করুক অথবা তা ত্যাগ করুক। [২৪৫৮]

ہم سے عبدالعزیز بن عبداللہ نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ابراہیم بن سعد نے بیان کیا، ان سے صالح نے، ان سے ابن شہاب نے بیان کیا، انہیں عروہ بن زبیر نے خبر دی، انہیں زینب بنت ابی سلمہ نے خبر دی اور انہیں نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم کی زوجہ ام سلمہ رضی اللہ عنہا نے خبر دی۔

آپ نے اپنے حجرہ کے دروازے پر جھگڑے کی آواز سنی تو باہر ان کی طرف نکلے۔ پھر آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا کہ میں بھی ایک انسان ہوں اور میرے پاس لوگ مقدمے لے کر آتے ہیں۔ ممکن ہے ان میں سے ایک فریق دوسرے فریق سے بولنے میں زیادہ عمدہ ہو اور میں یقین کر لوں کی وہی سچا ہے اور اس طرح اس کے موافق فیصلہ کر دوں۔

پس جس شخص کے لیے بھی میں کسی مسلمان کا حق دلا دوں تو وہ جہنم کا ایک ٹکڑا ہے وہ چاہے اسے لے یا چھوڑ دے، میں اس کو درحقیقت دوزخ کا ایک ٹکڑا دلا رہا ہوں۔

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdul Aziz bin Abdullah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibrahim bin Sa'd] dari [Salih] dari [Ibnu Syihab] mengatakan, [Urwah bin Zubair] mengabarkan kepadaku, bahwasanya [Zainab binti Abu Salamah] mengabarkan kepadanya, bahwa [Ummu Salamah isteri Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam] mengabarinya dari Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam;

Beliau mendengar pertengkaran di pintu kamarnya, spontan beliau keluar menemui mereka dan mengatakan; "Saya hanyalah manusia biasa seperti kalian, dan aku mendapatkan pengaduan, siapa tahu diantara kalian lebih pandai bersilat lidah daripada yang lain, sehingga aku menyangka dirinya benar (padahal tidak), lalu aku putuskan untuknya, maka barangsiapa kuputuskan menang dengan melanggar hak saudaranya semuslim, sama artinya aku mengambilkan suluh api baginya, maka silahkan ia ambil atau ia tinggalkan

Ebu Seleme'nin kızı Zeyneb'in nakline göre Nebi Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem'in eşi Ümmü Seleme şöyle demiştir: Resulullah Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem, Ümmü Seleme'nin hücresinin kapısı önünde bir kavga işitir. Onların yanına çıkar ve şöyle der: "Şunu bilin ben bir beşerim. Bana aranızdan davalı ve davacı gelir. Bazılarınız diğerinizden meramını daha düzgün ve açık anlatmış olabilir.

Ben de doğru söylediğini zannederim ve onun lehine hükmedebilirim. Bunun için kimin lehine bir Müslümanın hakkını vermeye hükmetmiş isem bilsin ki bu hak ancak ateşten bir parçadır. İster onu alsın, isterse terk etsin

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) heard clamor at his door, due to people being engaged in dispute and quarrel. He went out to judge between them, saying: I am only a human like you. I do not know the unseen, nor am I informed about hidden matters so that I would recognize the truthful from the liar among you.

People come to me to judge between them. My judgment, however, is based on each party's argument, evidence and oaths that I hear. Perhaps some are more eloquent than others and can express themselves better, so I believe them to be truthful and on the right side. Thus, I judge in their favor, although the truth, in reality, is on the other party's side.

So, you should know that I give my judgment according to what is apparent and not what is hidden, which does not make the unlawful lawful. Consequently, whoever receives something based upon my judgment that is the right of his brother, while he knows that he is not taking it rightfully, then I am giving him nothing but a piece of fire.

So, let him carry it, if he wishes, or leave it. The punishment for this returns upon him, and Allah is lying in wait for those who do injustice to others.
