But if he judges by other than what Allah, Exalted is He, has revealed and takes a bribe in his judgment and shows favoritism, his left hand will be bound to his right hand and he will be cast into Hell, and he will not reach its bottom for five hundred years.

Then the people who obeyed him will come to him and say: 'O so-and-so, where is what you used to command us?' He will say: 'I used to command you to one thing and contradict you to another.'"

    لِي سَمَّانِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأَدَعَ ذَلِكَ أَبَدًا فَقُلْتُ لِمَ سَمَّاكَ؟ قَالَ قَدِمَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ بِبَعِيرَيْنِ فَابْتَعْتُهُمَا مِنْهُ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ بَيْتِي وَخَرَجْتُ مِنْ خَلْفٍ فَبِعْتُهُمَا فَقَضَيْتُ بِهِمَا حَاجَتِي وَغِبْتُ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ الْعِرَاقِيَّ قَدْ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا الْعِرَاقِيُّ مُقِيمٌ فَأَخَذَنِي فَذَهَبَ بِي إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَخْبَرَهُ الْخَبَرَ فَقَالَ «مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ؟» قُلْتُ قَضَيْتُ بِثَمَنِهِمَا حَاجَتِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «اقْضِهِ» قُلْتُ لَيْسَ عِنْدِي قَالَ «أَنْتَ سَرَقٌ اذْهَبْ يَا عِرَاقِيُّ فَبِعْهُ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ حَقَّكَ» قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَسُومُونَهُ بِي وَيَلْتَفِتُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا تُرِيدُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَفْدِيَهُ مِنْكَ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي مِنْكُمْ أَحَقُّ وَأَحْوَجُ إِلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ اذْهَبْ فَقَدْ أَعْتَقْتُكَ

    ✧ He named me, and I would never give that up. I said, "Why did he name you that?" He said, "A man from the desert came with two camels, and I bought them from him. Then I entered my house and went out from the back and sold them, and with their price I fulfilled my need. I stayed away until I thought the Iraqi had left, but the Iraqi was still there. He seized me and took me to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him the story. He said, 'What led you to do what you did?' I said, 'I satisfied my need with their price, O Messenger of Allah.' He said, 'Pay it.' I said, 'I do not have it.' He said, 'You are a thief. Go, O Iraqi, and sell him until you recover your right.'" He said, "People began to bargain with him for me, and he turned to them and said, 'What do you want?' They said, 'We want to ransom him from you.' He said, 'By Allah, I am more entitled to him than you and more in need of Allah, the Exalted. Go, for I have freed you.'"
