Judgments

Chapter Number:

666

Narrated Buraida (RA) Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

"al-Qudat (judges) are of three types, two of whom will go to Hell and one to Paradise. The one who will go to Paradise is a man who knows what is right and gives judgement accordingly. However, a man who knows what is right, and does not give judgement accordingly and acts unjustly in his judgement, will be in the Hell-fire. Likewise, a man who does not know what is right and judges people with ignorance, will be in the Hell-fire." [Reported by al-Arba'a, and al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic)].

اَلْقُضَاةُ ثَلَاثَةٌ: اِثْنَانِ فِي اَلنَّارِ, وَوَاحِدٌ فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ.‏ رَجُلٌ عَرَفَ اَلْحَقَّ, فَقَضَى بِهِ, فَهُوَ فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ.‏ وَرَجُلٌ عَرَفَ اَلْحَقَّ, فَلَمْ يَقْضِ بِهِ, وَجَارَ فِي اَلْحُكْمِ, فَهُوَ فِي اَلنَّارِ.‏ وَرَجُلٌ لَمْ يَعْرِفِ اَلْحَقَّ, فَقَضَى لِلنَّاسِ عَلَى جَهْلٍ, فَهُوَ فِي اَلنَّارِ"

(3) And a man who pledged allegiance to an Imam only for the sake of the world (material gains). Hence, if the Imam bestowed on him something out of that (i.e. worldly riches) he stood by his pledge of allegiance, and if he did not give him, he did not fulfill the pledge of allegiance." [Agreed upon].

ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا يُكَلِّمُهُمْ اَللَّهُ يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ, وَلَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِمْ, وَلَا يُزَكِّيهِمْ, وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ: رَجُلٌ عَلَى فَضْلِ مَاءٍ بِالْفَلَاةِ, يَمْنَعُهُ مِنْ اِبْنِ اَلسَّبِيلِ; وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ رَجُلاً بِسِلْعَةٍ بَعْدَ اَلْعَصْرِ, فَحَلَفَ لَهُ بِاَللَّهِ: لَأَخَذَهَا بِكَذَا وَكَذَا, فَصَدَّقَهُ, وَهُوَ عَلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ; وَرَجُلٌ بَايَعَ إِمَامًا لَا يُبَايِعُهُ إِلَّا لِلدُّنْيَا, فَإِنْ أَعْطَاهُ مِنْهَا, وَفَى, وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطِهِ مِنْهَا, لَمْ يَفِ"

Narrated Jabir (RA):

Two men disputed about a she-camel. Then, each of them said: this she-camel was born at my place, and each of them brought a proof (that it was his animal). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) then ruled that it be taken by the one who had it in his possession.

وَعَنْ جَابِرٍ ‏- رضى الله عنه ‏- { أَنَّ رَجُلَيْنِ اِخْتَصَمَا فِي نَاقَةٍ, فَقَالَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَ ا 1‏ نُتِجَتْ عِنْدِي, وَأَقَامَا بَيِّنَةً, فَقَضَى بِهَا رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-لِمَنْ هِيَ فِي يَدِهِ } 2‏ .‏

Narrated Ibn 'Umar (RA):

The Prophet (ﷺ) re-directed al-Yamin (the oath to be sword by the defendant) to the one making the claim to some right. [ad-Daraqutni reported the two aforesaid Ahadith, and there is weakness in their chain of narrators].

وَعَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا; { أَنَّ اَلنَّبِيَّ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-رَدَّ اَلْيَمِينَ عَلَى طَالِبِ اَلْحَقِّ } رَوَاهُمَا اَلدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ, وَفِي إِسْنَادِهِمَا ضَعْف ٌ 1‏ .‏

Narrated 'Aishah (RA):

One day the Prophet (ﷺ) came to me overjoyed, his face shining (from happiness) and said, "Did you not see that Mujazziz al-Mudliji (a physiognomist) looked at Zaid bin Harithah and Usama bin Zaid, and then said, 'These feet (of Zaid and Usama) are related to one another.'" [Agreed upon].

وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اَللَّهُ عَنْهَا { قَالَتْ: دَخَلَ عَلَِيَّ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ ‏- صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏-ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ مَسْرُورًا, تَبْرُقُ أَسَارِيرُ وَجْهِهِ.‏ فَقَالَ: أَلَمْ تَرَيْ إِلَى مُجَزِّزٍ اَلْمُدْلِجِيِّ ? نَظَرَ آنِفًا إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ حَارِثَةَ, وَأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ, فَقَالَ: " هَذِهِ أَقْدَامٌ بَعْضُهَا مِنْ بَعْضٍ" } مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْه ِ 1‏ .‏"
