Seek justice even if it means going against your own emotions or feelings .

This hadith is about a practice called li’an in Islam. It is when a husband accuses his wife of adultery and invokes a curse upon her. In this case, Hilal b. Umayya accused his wife with the charge of fornication with Sharik b. Samha and invoked the curse on her. Allah's Messenger then gave instructions to determine the paternity of the child she was expecting by looking at its physical features such as complexion, hair color and eyesight. If it had dark eyelids, curly hair and lean shanks it would be from Sharik while if it had white-complexioned skin with dark hair and bright eyes it would be from Hilal. In this way justice could be served without any doubt or confusion as to who was responsible for raising the child if indeed there was an act of adultery committed by either party involved in this case. This hadith teaches us that justice should always prevail over personal feelings or emotions when dealing with matters related to family life or relationships between spouses so that no one is wrongfully punished or held accountable for something they did not do.
