Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 9054

Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) returned from Abyssinia, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him): What is the most astonishing thing you saw? He said: I saw a woman carrying on her head a basket (or vessel) of grain. A horseman passed by; he spurred his horse and knocked the woman's vessel down. The woman sat down and began gathering her grain, then she turned and said: Woe to you! When the King (Allah Almighty) sets down His Kursi and then takes justice for the oppressed from the oppressor (then see what your state will be). The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), affirming what that woman had said, declared: "That nation will not be purified (the narrator is unsure; perhaps the words are:) how can that nation be purified in which the weak cannot take his right from the strong without distress?"
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat. Its chain contains Ata' bin al-Sa'ib, who is thiqah (trustworthy) but his memory became confused (ikhtilat); the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
