[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "What do you think if a man comes to steal from me or take my wealth without my permission, what should I do?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "You should seek the help of Allah against him." The man asked, "What if I do that and he does not stop?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then seek the help of the ruler." The man asked, "What if there is no one near me from the rulers?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then you should strive against him or fight him until you become among the martyrs, or you prevent him from taking your wealth."  

أحمد:٢٢٥١٣ – حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنٌ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ قَابُوسَ بْنِ مُخَارِقٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَسْرِقَنِي أَوْ يَأْخُذَ مِنِّي مَالِي مَا تَأْمُرُنِي بِهِ؟ قَالَ تُعْظِمُ عَلَيْهِ بِاللهِ قَالَ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ؟ قَالَ تَسْتَعْدِي السُّلْطَانَ قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِقُرْبِي مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ؟ قَالَ تُجَاهِدُهُ أَوْ تُقَاتِلُهُ حَتَّى تُكْتَبَ فِي شُهَدَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ أَوْ تَمْنَعَ مَالَكَ

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if a man comes to me seeking my wealth, how should I deal with him?" He said, "Remind him of Allah." I said, "What if I do that and he does not stop?" He said, "Seek help from the Muslims." I said, "What if I do that and I find no one among the Muslims?" He said, "Seek help from the ruler." I said, "What if the ruler sells me out and refuses to return my wealth except by force?" He said, "Then fight him until you prevent him from taking your wealth or until you become one of the martyrs of the Hereafter."

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ جَاءَنِي رَجُلٌ يُرِيدُ مَالِي كَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ «فَذَكِّرْهُ بِاللهِ» قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ فَعَلْتُ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهِ؟ قَالَ «تَسْتَغِيثُ بِالْمُسْلِمِينَ» قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ فَعَلْتُ فَلَمْ أَجِدْ أَحَدًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ قَالَ «تَسْتَغِيثُ بِالسُّلْطَانِ» قُلْتُ أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ بَاعَنِي السُّلْطَانُ وَأَبَى إِلَّا أَنْ يَغْصِبَنِي مَالِي؟ قَالَ «فَقَاتِلْهُ حَتَّى تَمْنَعَ مَالَكَ أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنْ شُهَدَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ»

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah and said, "What do you think about a man who seizes my property in an unjust manner?" He said, "Remind him of Allah." He said, "O Messenger of Allah, what if he does not listen?" He said, "Seek help from someone other than you among the Muslims." He said, "What if there is no one around me?" He said, "Seek help from the authority." He said, "What if the authority refuses to help me?" He said, "Fight against him until you become a martyr in the Hereafter or prevent him from taking your property."
