Jami at-Tirmidhi 1339 (Book 15, Hadith 19) #26917
Disputes and Taking Advantage

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against taking advantage of others in disputes, as it is akin to taking a piece of the Fire.

Umm Salamah narrated that the Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed you come to me with your disputes, and I am only a human being, perhaps one of you is more eloquent at presenting his argument than the other. If I judge for one of you, giving him something from the rights of his brother, then it is only a piece of the Fire that I am giving him, so do not take anything from it".
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ زَيْنَبَ بِنْتِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّكُمْ تَخْتَصِمُونَ إِلَىَّ وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا بَشَرٌ وَلَعَلَّ بَعْضَكُمْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَلْحَنَ بِحُجَّتِهِ مِنْ بَعْضٍ فَإِنْ قَضَيْتُ لأَحَدٍ مِنْكُمْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ حَقِّ أَخِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا أَقْطَعُ لَهُ قِطْعَةً مِنَ النَّارِ فَلاَ يَأْخُذْ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَعَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Treat each other fairly and with respect when we are in disagreement . Present our arguments clearly so that we can make sure our point is heard without resorting to unfair tactics or manipulation .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith warns us against taking advantage of others in disputes. The Prophet Muhammad was only human and could be swayed by one party's eloquent argument over another's. He cautioned that if he judged for one person over another and gave them something from the rights of their brother or sister, it would be like giving them a piece of the fire - something that should not be taken lightly. We must remember to always treat each other fairly and with respect when we are in disagreement with someone else. We should also strive to present our arguments clearly so that we can make sure our point is heard without resorting to unfair tactics or manipulation.
