Be patient in disputes and try your best to resolve it without involving an authority figure or third party as much as possible.

This hadith is about a dispute between two slaves, one belonging to poor people and the other belonging to rich people. The poor slave cut off the ear of the rich slave, so they both went to the Prophet for judgement. However, instead of giving them a decision or ruling on who was right or wrong, he did not give them anything. This teaches us that we should be patient in disputes and try our best to resolve it without involving an authority figure or third party as much as possible. We should also remember that even if we do involve someone else in our disputes, they may not always have an answer for us and it is important for us to accept this outcome with patience and understanding.
