Sunan Abi Dawud 3575 (Book 25, Hadith 5) #23865
Seeking Justice Over Tyranny

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that those who seek justice and prevail over tyranny will go to Paradise, while those whose tyranny prevails over justice will go to Hell.

Narrated AbuHurayrah: The Prophet said: If anyone seeks the office of judge among Muslims till he gets it and his justice prevails over his tyranny, he will go to Paradise; but the man whose tyranny prevails over his justice will go to Hell.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبَّاسٌ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُلاَزِمُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ نَجْدَةَ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ - وَهُوَ أَبُو كَثِيرٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ طَلَبَ قَضَاءَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ حَتَّى يَنَالَهُ ثُمَّ غَلَبَ عَدْلُهُ جَوْرَهُ فَلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ وَمَنْ غَلَبَ جَوْرُهُ عَدْلَهُ فَلَهُ النَّارُ
