Sunan an-Nasai 5381 (Book 49, Hadith 3) #19913
Rewarding Righteous Judgement

SUMMARY: A judge will be rewarded for striving to reach the right conclusion, even if they get it wrong.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah SAW said: 'If a judge passes judgment and strives to reach the right conclusion and gets it right, he will have two rewards; if he strives to reach the right conclusion but gets it wrong, he will still have one reward".
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ، ‏{‏بْنِ‏}‏ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ حَزْمٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا حَكَمَ الْحَاكِمُ فَاجْتَهَدَ فَأَصَابَ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَإِذَا اجْتَهَدَ فَأَخْطَأَ فَلَهُ أَجْرٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of justice and righteousness in judgement. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Prophet Muhammad said that if a judge passes judgement and strives to reach the right conclusion and gets it right, he will have two rewards; even if he strives to reach the right conclusion but gets it wrong, he will still have one reward. This hadith teaches us that judges should strive for justice and righteousness in their judgements as they will be rewarded for their efforts regardless of whether or not they get it right. It also encourages judges to continue striving for justice even when faced with difficult decisions as they are still guaranteed a reward from Allah.

This hadith also serves as an example of how we should all strive for justice in our lives no matter what situation we find ourselves in. We should always try our best to do what is just and fair even when faced with difficult decisions or situations where there may not be a clear answer or solution. Doing so can help us build strong relationships with others based on trust and respect which can lead to greater peace and harmony within society as a whole.
