Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكُمْ تَحْتَكِمُونَ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَلْحَنَ بِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْضٍ وَإِنَّمَا أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا أَسْمَعُ فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ مِنْ حَقِّ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا فَلَا يَأْخُذْهُ فَإِنَّمَا أَقْطَعُ لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنْ النَّارِ يَأْتِي بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.
English Translation
Narrated to us by Waki', who said: Hisham ibn Urwah narrated to us, from his father, from Zaynab bint Umm Salamah, from Umm Salamah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You bring your disputes to me, but I am only a human being, and perhaps one of you may be more eloquent in presenting his argument than another, so I judge between you according to what I hear. Whoever I have ruled in his favor with something of his brother's right, let him not take it, for I am only cutting off for him a piece of the Fire, which he will bring on the Day of Resurrection."
