Sahih al-Bukhari 3043 (Book 56, Hadith 249) #2909
Wise Judgement Praised by Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) praised Sa'd for his wise judgement in the case of the tribe of Bani Quraiza.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: When the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sa'd's judgment, Allah's Messenger sent for Sa'd who was near to him. Sa'd came, riding a donkey and when he came near, Allah's Messenger said (to the Ansar), "Stand up for your leader". Then Sa'd came and sat beside Allah's Messenger who said to him".These people are ready to accept your judgment". Sa'd said, "I give the judgment that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners". The Prophet then remarked, "O Sa'd! You have judged amongst them with (or similar to) the judgment of the King Allah".
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ بَنُو قُرَيْظَةَ عَلَى حُكْمِ سَعْدٍ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ ـ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ، وَكَانَ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ، فَجَاءَ عَلَى حِمَارٍ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ قُومُوا إِلَى سَيِّدِكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَجَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ ‏"‏ إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ نَزَلُوا عَلَى حُكْمِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ فَإِنِّي أَحْكُمُ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ الْمُقَاتِلَةُ، وَأَنْ تُسْبَى الذُّرِّيَّةُ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَقَدْ حَكَمْتَ فِيهِمْ بِحُكْمِ الْمَلِكِ

In this hadith, we learn about a situation where the tribe of Bani Quraiza was ready to accept Sa'd's judgement. Upon hearing this, Allah's Messenger sent for Sa'd who was near to him and asked him to give a judgement. After listening to both sides, Sa'd gave his verdict that their warriors should be killed and their children and women should be taken as prisoners. Upon hearing this, Allah's Messenger praised him for his wise judgement which is similar to the judgment of King Allah. This hadith teaches us that wisdom is an important quality which should be used when making decisions or judgements in life. It also shows us how even though it may not always seem like it, justice will prevail in the end if we make decisions with wisdom and fairness.
