اُردوEn
عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِنَّ قَوْمًا كَانُوا أَهْلَ ضَعْفٍ وَمَسْكَنَةٍ قَاتَلَهُمْ أَهْلُ تَجَبُّرٍ وَعَدَدٍ فَأَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ أَهْلَ الضَّعْفِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَعَمَدُوا إِلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ فَاسْتَعْمَلُوهُمْ وَسَلَّطُوهُمْ فَأَسْخَطُوا اللَّهَ عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ يَلْقَوْنَهُ
Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There was a people who were weak and destitute; those who were arrogant and numerous fought against them. Then, when Allah Almighty gave victory to the weak over them, they turned against their enemy, enslaved them, and dominated them, and in this way, until the Day of Resurrection when they meet Allah Almighty, they incurred His displeasure upon themselves.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … When weak people attain authority, they should not begin acts of revenge; rather, they should maintain their authority in the light of Shari‘ah.
