Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There is a Sadaqa to be given for every joint of the human body; and for every
day on which the sun rises there is a reward of a Sadaqa (i.e. charitable gift) for the one who
establishes justice among people."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 53, Hadith 17

`Abdullah bin Abu Hadrad Al-Aslami owed Ka`b bin Malik some money. One day the latter met the
former and demanded his right, and their voices grew very loud. The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by them and said,
"O Ka`b," beckoning with his hand as if intending to say, "Deduct half the debts." So, Ka`b took half
what the other owed him and remitted the other half.

Az-Zubair told me that he quarreled with an Ansari man who had participated in (the battle of) Badr in
front of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about a water stream which both of them used for irrigation. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said to Az-Zubair, "O Zubair! Irrigate (your garden) first, and then let the water flow to your
neighbor." The Ansari became angry and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is it because he is your cousin?"
On that the complexion of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) changed (because of anger) and said (to Az-Zubair), "I
irrigate (your garden) and then withhold the water till it reaches the walls (surrounding the palms)."
So, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) gave Az-Zubair his full right. Before that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had given a generous
judgment beneficial for Az-Zubair and the Ansari, but when the Ansan irritated Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he
gave Az-Zubair his full right according to the evident law. Az-Zubair said, "By Allah ! I think the
following Verse was revealed concerning that case: "But no by your Lord They can have No faith
Until they make you judge In all disputes between them." (4.65)
