Three-Narrator Ahadith 55
Hushaym narrated to us:
ʻUbaydullāh ibn Abī Bakr informed us from Anas, and Yūnus from al-Ḥasan, both saying that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or one who is oppressed.” It was said, “Messenger of Allah, I help him when he is oppressed, but how do I help him when he is an oppressor?” He said, “You restrain him and hold him back [from wrongdoing], for that is helping him.” Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 55
حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ: أَخْبَرَنَا، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، وَيُونُسُ، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ قَالَا: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا». قِيلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، هَذَا أَنْصُرُهُ مَظْلُومًا، فَكَيْفَ أَنْصُرُهُ إِذَا كَانَ ظَالِمًا؟ قَالَ: «تَحْجُزُهُ تَمْنَعُهُ، فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ نَصْرُهُ»
