Sahih al-Bukhari 6133 (Book 78, Hadith 160) #5889
Don't Take Advantage of a Believer Twice

SUMMARY: A believer should not be taken advantage of in the same way twice.

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "A believer is not stung twice (by something) out of one and the same hole".
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يُلْدَغُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ جُحْرٍ وَاحِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Treat people with respect and kindness even if they have done something wrong before.
EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how believers should not be taken advantage of in the same way twice. The Prophet Muhammad said that a believer is like a hole that cannot be stung by something twice. This means that if someone takes advantage of a believer once, they should not do it again because it would be wrong and unfair to do so. It also teaches us to have faith and trust in Allah and His teachings as believers are protected from being taken advantage of more than once. We can learn from this hadith to always treat people with respect and kindness even if they have done something wrong before because we don’t know what their intentions are or what their circumstances may be.
