وَعَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا» . فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْصُرُهُ مَظْلُومًا فَكَيْفَ أَنْصُرُهُ ظَالِمًا؟ قَالَ: «تَمنعهُ من الظُّلم فَذَاك نصرك إِيَّاه» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Anas Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Help your brother whether he is an oppressor or an oppressed." A man (One of the sahabah) رضي الله عنه asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, I can help him who is oppressed, but how may I help the oppressor?' He said, "Prevent him from being oppressive. That by itself is your help to him." [1]
