[8] Justice For All

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:

“(By Allah) the rights of justice will surely be restored to their people on the Day of Resurrection, even the hornless sheep will lay claim to the horned sheep”. [Muslim 2582]

 ففي هذا الحديث أقسم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو الصادق المصدوق بغير قسم، أقسم أن الحقوق ستؤدى إلى أهلها يوم القيامة ولا يضيع لأحد حق، الحق الذي لك إن لم تستوفه في الدنيا استوفيته في الآخرة ولا بد، حتى إنه يقتص للشاة الجلحاء من الشاة القرناء الجلحاء التي ليس لها قرن والقرناء التي لها قرن، والغالب أن التي لها قرن إذا ناطحت الجلحاء التي لا قرن لها الغالب أنها تؤذيها أكثر، فإذا كان يوم القيامة قضى الله بين هاتين الشاتين واقتص للشاة الجلحاء من الشاة القرناء، هذا وهن بهائم لا يعقلن ولا يفهمن، لكن الله عز وجل حكم عدل أراد أن يري عباده كمال عدله حتى في البهائم العجم فكيف ببني آدم

In this hadith, the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and He is truthful and believed, even without swearing (by Allah). He swore (by Allah) that all rights will be restored to their rightful owners on the Day of Judgment, and none will lose their rights. Any right that belongs to you, if not received in this life, will definitely be given back to you in the Hereafter.

Even retribution will be established for the hornless sheep against the horned sheep. In most cases, when a horned sheep strikes (or headbutts) a hornless one, it harms it more. Therefore, on the Day of Judgment, Allah will judge between these two sheep and establish justice for the hornless one against the horned one. This is despite (the fact) that they are animals that lack reason and understanding. However, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is perfectly just and He wants to demonstrate to His servants the perfection of His justice, even among animals that cannot speak, so how about between human beings? [Paraphrased]

An Except from the Sharh of the hadith by Imam Muhammad Ibn Salih Al-Uthaymin, may Allah have mercy upon him. Visit link:
