Helping Others in Need

SUMMARY: Helping others, even if they are oppressors, is an important part of being a good person.

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or is oppressed". A man enquired: "O Messenger of Allah! I help him when he is oppressed, but how can I help him when he is an oppressor?" He said, "You can keep him from committing oppression. That will be your help to him". Al-Bukhari.
وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله ‏:‏ “انصر أخاك ظالمًا أو مظلومًا” فقال رجل‏:‏ يا رسول الله أنصره إذا كان مظلومًا أرأيت إن كان ظالمًا كيف أنصره‏؟‏ قال‏:‏ ‏"‏تحجزه -أو تمنعه- من الظلم فإن ذلك نصره” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه البخاري‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏
