Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated from Malik, from Hisham, from his father, from Zaynab bint Abi Sulaym, from Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mishkat al-Masabih 3761.
The Shaykh : This is... that the judge admonishes them with something like this, especially if he suspects one of them, so let him admonish him.
I am only a human being and you bring your disputes to me, some perhaps being more eloquent in their plea than others, so that I give judgment on their behalf according to what I hear from them. Therefore whatever I decide for anyone which by right belongs to his brother he must not take, for I am granting him only a portion of hell.
إنما أنا بشر وإنكم تختصمون إلي ولعل بعضكم أن يكون ألحن بحجته من بعض فأقضي على نحو ما أسمع فمن قضيت له من حق أخيه شيئاً فلا يأخذه فإنما أقطع له قطعةً من النارThe Shaykh : This is... that the judge admonishes them with something like this, especially if he suspects one of them, so let him admonish him.
