Follow Islamic law when resolving disputes

This hadith is about resolving disputes between two parties over a garden that was given as a life grant to one party. A woman gave her garden as a life grant to her son, who later died and left behind his own son and brothers. The sons of the woman making the life grant claimed that it belonged to them while those who were conferred upon this privilege said it belonged to their father during his lifetime and in case of his death. They took their dispute to Tariq, the freed slave of 'Uthman, who called Jabir for testimony regarding what Allah's Messenger said about such matters - that life grants belong to those they are conferred upon. Based on this testimony from Jabir, Tariq gave his decision in favor of those who were conferred upon this privilege and wrote Abd al-Malik informing him; Abd al-Malik agreed with Tariq's decision based on Jabir's truthfulness. To this day, gardens given as life grants belong to descendants of those they are conferred upon due to this ruling from Tariq. This hadith teaches us important values such as justice and fairness when resolving disputes between two parties; it also shows us how important testimonies can be in settling such matters fairly according to Islamic law.
