Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أُسَامَةُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ جَاءَ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ يَخْتَصِمَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَوَارِيثَ بَيْنَهُمَا قَدْ دُرِسَتْ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا بَيِّنَةٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَيَّ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَلْحَنُ بِحُجَّتِهِ أَوْ قَدْ قَالَ لِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَإِنِّي أَقْضِي بَيْنَكُمْ عَلَى نَحْوِ مَا أَسْمَعُ فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ مِنْ حَقِّ أَخِيهِ شَيْئًا فَلَا يَأْخُذْهُ فَإِنَّمَا أَقْطَعُ لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنْ النَّارِ يَأْتِي بِهَا إِسْطَامًا فِي عُنُقِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَبَكَى الرَّجُلَانِ وَقَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا حَقِّي لِأَخِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَا إِذْ قُلْتُمَا فَاذْهَبَا فَاقْتَسِمَا ثُمَّ تَوَخَّيَا الْحَقَّ ثُمَّ اسْتَهِمَا ثُمَّ لِيَحْلِلْ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمَا صَاحِبَهُ.
English Translation
Waki' told us: Usamah b. Zayd told us, from Abdullah b. Rafi', from Umm Salamah, who said: Two men from the Ansar came disputing to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, over inheritances between them that had become obscure, with no evidence between them. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You bring disputes to me, but I am only a human being, and perhaps one of you is more eloquent in presenting his case than another, so I judge between you according to what I hear. So whoever I award something of his brother's right, let him not take it, for I would only be cutting off for him a piece of the Fire, which he will bring around his neck on the Day of Resurrection." The two men wept and each one said, "My right is for my brother." The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Since you have said that, go and divide it between you, then seek out what is right, then draw lots, then let each of you release the other from any claim."
