The dealings of the Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, with those who were disputing
Notwithstanding the caliber of individuals living in a particular society, and no matter how keen they are on doing good actions, society is
never void of differences with regards to the vanities this worldly life possesses, differences in each individual’s whims and desires, and mistakes
that occur due to following some whispers of Satan. All these things lead
to problems that need to be resolved. There is no doubt that there are disputes between individuals living in Muslim society as well, just as there
are disputes in every other human society.
The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, judged between disputants in a way that gave the right to the one deserving the right. He,
sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, used to reconcile between differing parties,
remind them of Allah, warn them against taking even a small portion of
their brother’s right, and against persisting on falsehood. He, sallallaahu
‘alayhi wa sallam, would also teach them that they should never forget liberality and kindness amongst one another. He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam,
would make them despise the calls of the pre-Islamic ignorance, tribalism
and partisanship; he, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, raised the Muslim society with every good characteristic.
The Prophet of Allah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, dealt with those who disputed with him in a wise manner that would end the dispute and cut it off.
