Justice and the Rasool's Example

men come to you for judgement, never decide in favour of one without hearing the arguments of the other; it is then most likely that you will know the truth." Hazrat Muawia 1 reported Allah's Rasool 1 saying, "Any ruler (or judge) who closes his door on the poor, the needy and the destitute, Allah closes His door on him when he becomes needy and destitute."

(7) While Hazrat Muhammad 1 was on his death bed, he proclaimed, "If I owed something to anyone; or if I wronged any person, or damaged anyone's property or honour, my person, my honour and my property are here; he may take revenge on me in this world." There was complete silence. Only one person demanded a few dirhams which were paid to him.

What does the word "proclaimed" mean?
