Jami` at-Tirmidhi #1352Umm Salamah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:Sahih

"Indeed you come to me with your disputes, and I am only a human being, perhaps one of you is more eloquent at presenting his argument than the other. If I judge for one of you, giving him something from the rights of his brother, then it is only a piece of the Fire that I am giving him, so do not take anything from it."

Sahih Muslim #4343Umm Salama reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying:Sahih

You bring to me, for (judgment) your disputes, some of you perhaps being more eloquent in their plea than others, so I give judgment on their behalf according to what I hear from them. (Bear in mind, in my judgment) if I slice off anything for him from the right of his brother, he should not accept that, for I sliced off for him a portion from the Hell.

Sunan Abu Dawud #3586Umm Salamah reported the Prophet (ﷺ) as saying when two men were disputing over inheritance and old things:Sahih

I decide between you on the basis of my opinion in cases about which no revelation has been sent down to me.

Sunan Abu Dawud #3583Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:Sahih

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent me to the Yemen as judge, and I asked: Messenger of Allah, are you sending me when I am young and have no knowledge of the duties of a judge? He replied: Allah will guide your heart and keep your tongue true. When two litigants sit in front of you, do not decide till you hear what the other has to say as you heard what the first had to say; for it is best that you should have a clear idea of the best decision. He said: I had been a judge (for long); or he said (the narrator is doubtful): I have no doubts about a decision afterwards.
