Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ زَيْنَبَ ابْنَةِ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَجَبَةَ خَصْمٍ عِنْدَ بَابِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ قَالَتْ فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَعْلَمَ بِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَأَقْضِيَ لَهُ بِمَا أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ فَأَظُنُّهُ صَادِقًا فَمَنْ قَضَيْتُ لَهُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ حَقِّ أَخِيهِ فَإِنَّهَا قِطْعَةٌ مِنْ النَّارِ فَلْيَأْخُذْهَا أَوْ لِيَدَعْهَا حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ صَالِحٍ قَالَ ابْنُ شِهَابٍ 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 فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.
English Translation
Narrated to us by Abd al-Razzaq, who said: Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Urwah, from Zaynab bint Abi Salamah, from Umm Salamah, who said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the clamor of two disputants at the door of Umm Salamah." She said: "So he went out to them and said: 'You bring disputes to me, but I am only a human being, and perhaps one of you is more knowledgeable in presenting his case than another, so I judge in his favor by what I hear from him, thinking him truthful. Whoever I have judged in his favor with something of his brother's right, it is only a piece of the Fire - let him take it or leave it.'" [Also] narrated to us by Ya'qub, who said: My father narrated to me, from Salih, [who said]: Ibn Shihab [said]: Urwah ibn al-Zubayr informed me that Zaynab bint Abi Salamah informed him that Umm Salamah, wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), informed her, from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), that he heard a dispute at the door of his chamber, so he went out to them and said: "I am only a human being" - and he mentioned its meaning.
