Authentic hadithNarrated by At-Termedhy & Ahmad

The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the one who gives a bribe and the one who receives a bribe to influence a judgment

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: لَعَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الرَّاشِيَ وَالْمُرْتَشِيَ فِي الْحُكْمِ.

Explanation

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against those who give or take bribes to be expelled and banished from the mercy of Allah Almighty. This includes the bribe given to judges to pass an unjust ruling; thus, the giver of the bribe can reach his objective without right.
