Fairness and Justice in Judgement

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ taught that those who are appointed as judges between people should be fair and just in their decisions.

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said: "Whoever is appointed judge between the people, he has been slaughtered without a knife".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ مَنْ جُعِلَ قَاضِيًا بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَقَدْ ذُبِحَ بِغَيْرِ سِكِّينٍ

It was narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet said "Whoever is appointed judge between the people, he has been slaughtered without a knife." This means that if someone is appointed to make judgements between people they must be fair and just in their decisions or else it will be like they have been killed without a knife. We must always strive to make sure our judgements are based on fairness and justice so we can ensure everyone is treated fairly.
