Narrated Um Salama: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Apostle heard some people quarreling at the door of his dwelling, so he went out to them and said, I am only a human being, and litigants with cases of dispute come to me, and someone of you may happen to be more eloquent (in presenting his case) than the other, whereby I may consider that he is truthful and pass a judgment in his favor. If ever I pass a judgment in favor of somebody whereby he takes a Muslim's right unjustly, then whatever he takes is nothing but a piece of Fire, and it is up to him to take or leave.

Then Allah's Apostle further said, The child is for the owner of the bed, and the stone is for the adulterer, He then said to Sauda bint Zam`a, Veil (screen) yourself before him, when he saw the child's resemblance to `Utba. The boy did not see her again till he met Allah.
