Sunan Ibn Majah 987 (Book 5, Hadith 185) #30339
Judging People Based on the Weakest Among Them

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ advised 'Uthman bin Abul-'As to be tolerant in prayer and to judge people based on the weakest among them.

It was narrated that Mutarrif bin 'Abdullah bin Shikhkhir said: "I heard 'Uthman bin Abul-'As say: "The last thing that the Prophet enjoined on me when he appointed me governor of Ta’if was that he said: "O 'Uthman! Be tolerable in prayer and estimate the people based upon the weakest among them, for among them are the elderly, the young, the sick, those who live far from the mosque, and those who have pressing needs".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ مُطَرِّفِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الشِّخِّيرِ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُثْمَانَ بْنَ أَبِي الْعَاصِ، يَقُولُ كَانَ آخِرَ مَا عَهِدَ إِلَىَّ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ حِينَ أَمَّرَنِي عَلَى الطَّائِفِ قَالَ لِي ‏ "‏ يَا عُثْمَانُ تَجَاوَزْ فِي الصَّلاَةِ وَاقْدِرِ النَّاسَ بِأَضْعَفِهِمْ فَإِنَّ فِيهِمُ الْكَبِيرَ وَالصَّغِيرَ وَالسَّقِيمَ وَالْبَعِيدَ وَذَا الْحَاجَةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how we should treat others with kindness and understanding. The Prophet (ﷺ) advised 'Uthman bin Abul-'As to be tolerant in prayer and to judge people based on the weakest among them. This means that we should not expect too much from those who are elderly, young, sick, or living far away from a mosque as they may have difficulty fulfilling certain obligations. We should also take into account those who have pressing needs when judging them as well. It is important for us to remember that everyone has different abilities and circumstances which can affect their ability to fulfill certain obligations or tasks. Therefore, it is important for us to be understanding of these differences and treat everyone with kindness regardless of their abilities or circumstances.
