Riyad as-Salihin 1357 (Book 11, Hadith 73) #37846
Protecting Property & Fighting Back

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that if someone tries to take away your property, you should not give it to them and if they fight you, then fight back. If they kill you, then you are a martyr and if you kill them, then they will be in the Hell-fire.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What shall I do if someone comes to me with the intention of taking away my property?" He replied, "Do not hand over it to him". The man asked, "What shall I do if he fights me?" The Messenger of Allah said, "Then fight him"".What will be my position in the Hereafter if he has killed me?" The Messenger of Allah replied, "In that case you are a martyr". The man asked: "What if I killed him?" The Messenger of Allah replied, "He will be in the Hell- fire". Muslim.
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ جاء رجل إلى رسول الله فقال‏:‏ يا رسول الله أرأيت إن جاء رجل يريد أخذ مالي‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏فلا تعطه مالك‏"‏ قال‏:‏ أرأيت إن قاتلني‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏قاتله‏"‏ قال‏:‏ أرأيت إن قتلني قال‏:‏ ‏"‏فأنت شهيد‏"‏ قال‏:‏ أرأيت إن قتلته‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏هو في النار‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about protecting one's possessions and fighting back when necessary. It was narrated by Abu Huraira who reported that a man came to the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ asking what he should do if someone tried to take away his property. The Prophet ﷺ replied that he should not hand it over. When asked what he should do if the person fought him, the Prophet ﷺ said he should fight back. If the person killed him, then he would be considered a martyr in Paradise while if he killed the other person, they would go to Hell-Fire. This hadith teaches us several important values such as standing up for ourselves and our possessions when necessary but also being mindful of our actions as we will be held accountable for them in this life and in the Hereafter.
