Hadith 2444

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، هَذَا نَنْصُرُهُ مَظْلُومًا ، فَكَيْفَ نَنْصُرُهُ ظَالِمًا ؟ قَالَ : تَأْخُذُ فَوْقَ يَدَيْهِ " .
Narrated Anas: Allah's Apostle said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, "O Allah's Apostle! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet said, "By preventing him from oppressing others."
