Justice plays an important role in a society. It is necessary for the progress of a country and nation. Islam gives great importance to justice. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) put a great stress on justice. He (PBUH) believed that nations are destroyed for their unjust dealings.
Once,a woman of Banu Makhzoom was arrested. She had committed theft. Banu Makhzoom wanted to save the woman from punishment. They knew that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) would not forgive her. They decided to sent Hazrat Usama Bin Zaid (R.A.) to the Holy Prophet (PBUH). The Holy Prophet (PBUH) had a deep love for Hazrat Usama (R.A.). Hazrat Usama (R.A.) requested the Holy Prophet (PBUH) to forgive the woman.
The Holy Prophet (PBUH) became angry at this request. He (PBUH) told Hazrat Usama (R.A.) that it was the custom of some old nations to punish a weak person and leave a strong one. He (PBUH) was there to do justice. Moreover, he (PBUH) said that even if Hazrat Fatima (R.A.) his beloved daughter , had committed the same crime, he would have punished her the same way. Hazrat Usama (R.A.) returned disappointed. This incident shows that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) could never think of doing any injustice with anybody.
