Take on responsibilities seriously .

This hadith emphasizes the importance of taking on the responsibility of judging between people. It warns that if someone takes on this role, they must take it seriously and not make any mistakes, as if they were being slaughtered without a knife. This means that even though there is no physical punishment for making mistakes in judgement, the consequences can be just as severe. It is important to remember that when judging between people, one must always strive to be fair and impartial in order to ensure justice for all parties involved.
