Forbidding oppression and injustice, seeking Allah's guidance



An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.24

On the authority of Abu Dharr Al-Ghifari (Radhiallahu anhu) from the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam), is that among the sayings he relates from his Rubb is that He said:

"O My slaves, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another.

O My slaves, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you.

O My slaves, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you.

O My slaves, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you.

O My slaves, you commit sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you.

O My slaves, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me.

O my slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to become as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything.

O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything.

O My slaves, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a needle decreases the sea if put into it.

O My slaves, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him who finds good praise Allah, and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself."

A commander of the Muslims is a shield for them

Narrated Abu Huraira (RadhiAllahu 'anhu):

that the Prophet of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) said:

A commander (of the Muslims) is a shield for them. They fight behind him and they are protected by (him from tyrants and aggressors). If he enjoins fear of God, the Exalted and Glorious, and dispenses justice, there will be a (great) reward for him; and if he enjoins otherwise, it redounds on him.

Give the rulers their right and be patient

A man came to the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) and said:

"O Allah's Apostle! You appointed such-and-such person and you did not appoint me?"

Without You O Allah! we would have got no guidance

Narrated Al-Bara (Radhi-Allah-hu 'anhu):

On the day (of the battle) of Al-Ahzab (i.e. clans) I saw the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wa sallam) carrying earth, and the earth was covering the whiteness of his abdomen. And he was saying:

"Without You (O Allah!) we would have got no guidance, nor given in charity, nor prayed. So please bless us with tranquility and make firm our feet when we meet our enemies. Indeed (these) people have rebelled against (oppressed) us but never shall we yield if they try to bring affliction upon us."

Help your brother and Allah swt will help you on the Day of Resurrection

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Umar (Radhiallahu anhu):

Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection."
