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.

Hadith 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.»
´It was narrated that Jabir said:` “When the emigrants who had crossed the sea came back to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he said: ‘Why don’t you tell me of the strange things that you saw in the land of Abyssinia?’ Some young men among them said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah. While we were sitting, one of their elderly nuns came past, carrying a vessel of water on her head. She passed by some of their youth, one of whom placed his hand between her shoulders and pushed her. She fell on her knees and her vessel broke. When she stood up, she turned to him and said: “You will come to know, O traitor, that when Allah sets up the Footstool and gathers the first and the last, and hands and feet speak of what they used to earn, you will come to know your case and my case in His presence soon.’” The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘She spoke the truth, she spoke the truth. How can Allah purify any people (of sin) when they do not support their weak from their 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.
