Hadith 5129
وَعَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: لَا تَكُونُوا إِمَّعَةً تَقُولُونَ: إِنْ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسُ أَحْسَنَّا وَإِنْ ظَلَمُوا ظَلَمْنَا وَلَكِنْ وَطِّنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنْ أَحْسَنَ النَّاسُ أَنْ تُحْسِنُوا وإِن أساؤوا فَلَا تظلموا . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيّ. وَيصِح وَقفه على ابْن مَسْعُود
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not be an imitator, (such that) you say: If people do good, we will also do good, and if they do wrong, we will also do wrong. Rather, resolve within yourselves that if people do good, you will also do good, and if they do evil, you will not do injustice." Its chain is Hasan. Narrated by al-Tirmidhi.
