وعن جابر رضي الله عنه قال : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول : « كيف تقدس أمة لا يؤخذ من شديدهم لضعيفهم » رواه ابن حبان ، وله شاهد من حديث بريدة عند البزار. وآخر من حديث أبي سعيد عن ابن ماجه.
Narrated Jabir (RA): I heard Allah's Messenger (SAW0 saying, "How could an Ummah (people) be purified (of its sins) where the right of its weak is not taken from its strong." [Reported by Ibn Hibban]. It has a Shahid (supporting narration) from the Hadith of Buraida, reported by al-Bazzar. And another [Shahid (supporting chain)] from the Hadith of Abu Sa'id, reported by Ibn Majah.

Takhrij:
«أخرجه ابن حبان (الموارد)، حديث:1554، 2584، وابن ماجه، الفتن، حديث:4010 بطوله، وحديث بريدة: أخرجه البزار، كشف الأستار:1 /235، 236، حديث:1596 وهو حديث حسن ، وحديث أبي سعيد الخدري: أخرجه ابن ماجه، الفتن، حديث:4011، وهو حديث حسن.»©Explanation:
It is stated in *Subul al-Salam* that what is meant here is that the community which does not grant justice to the weak against the strong, nor does it ensure that the weak receive their rightful due, then how can such a community be purified from sins? Therefore, it is obligatory (wajib) to assist the weak until they obtain their right from the strong.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The oppressed Muslims of Makkah migrated to Abyssinia before migrating to Madinah al-Munawwarah.
The first group migrated in Rajab of the 5th year of Prophethood, and after that, in the following year, more people migrated to Abyssinia.
After the migration to Madinah, these individuals arrived in Madinah in groups at different times.
➋
The "emigrants of the sea" refers to those who migrated to Abyssinia, because these individuals crossed the Red Sea (Bahr al-Qulzum) to reach Abyssinia.
➌
The previous heavenly scriptures also contained mention of the Day of Judgment, Paradise, and Hellfire.
Although these books had been altered (tahrif) during the time of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam),
many correct matters still remained in them.
In the present-day Bible, this alteration is much greater, and correct things are rare and scarce.
➍
If a non-Muslim speaks the truth, it should also be affirmed.
➎
Any nation in which the weak are oppressed
becomes deserving of punishment from Allah.
➏
In order to be saved from Allah’s punishment, it is necessary that justice and fairness be established in society, and that the oppressor be given full punishment while helping the oppressed.
➐
In present-day non-Muslim societies, there are laws of such a kind that provide protection to the oppressor.
It is regrettable that in Muslim countries as well, these same oppressive laws are implemented, due to which oppression spreads and the oppressed are destroyed.
