حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ أَخْبَرَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ ؓ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ:
«انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا»، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْصُرُهُ إِذَا كَانَ مَظْلُومًا، أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا كَانَ ظَالِمًا كَيْفَ أَنْصُرُهُ؟ قَالَ: «تَحْجُزُهُ» أَوْ «تَمْنَعُهُ مِنَ الظُّلْمِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ نَصْرُهُ».

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Support your brother, whether he is an oppressor or oppressed.” A man said: “O Messenger of Allah, I ˹would˺ support him when he is oppressed, but what if he is an oppressor? How do I support him?” He said: “Restrain him,” or “Prevent him from wrongdoing, for that is supporting him.”
