ذِكْرُ الْإِخْبَارِ عَمَّا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ مِنْ مَعُونَةِ الضُّعَفَاءِ وَأَخْذِ مَالِهِمْ مِنَ الْأَقْوِيَاءِ

“When the emigrants who had crossed the sea came back to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: ‘Why don’t you tell me of the strange things that you saw in the land of Abyssinia?’ Some young men among them said: ‘Yes, O Messenger of Allah. While we were sitting, one of their elderly nuns came past, carrying a vessel of water on her head. She passed by some of their youth, one of whom placed his hand between her shoulders and pushed her. She fell on her knees and her vessel broke. When she stood up, she turned to him and said: “You will come to know, O traitor, that when Allah sets up the Footstool and gathers the first and the last, and hands and feet speak of what they used to earn, you will come to know your case and my case in His presence soon.’” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘She spoke the truth, she spoke the truth. How can Allah purify any people (of sin) when they do not support their weak from their strong?’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4010)  

لَمَّا رَجَعَتْ مُهَاجِرَةُ الْحَبَشَةِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا تُحَدِّثُونِي بِأَعْجَبَ مَا رَأَيْتُمْ بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ» قَالَ فِتْيَةٌ مِنْهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَيْنَا نَحْنُ جُلُوسٌ مَرَّتْ عَلَيْنَا عَجُوزٌ مِنْ عَجَائِزِهِمْ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى رَأْسِهَا قُلَّةً مِنْ مَاءٍ فَمَرَّتْ بِفَتًى مِنْهُمْ فَجَعَلَ إِحْدَى يَدَيْهِ بَيْنَ كَتِفَيْهَا ثُمَّ دَفَعَهَا عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهَا فَانْكَسَرَتْ قُلَّتُهَا فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَتِ الْتَفَتَتْ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَتْ سَتَعْلَمُ يَا غُدَرُ إِذَا وَضَعَ اللَّهُ الْكُرْسِيَّ وَجَمَعَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ وَتَكَلَّمَتِ الْأَيْدِي وَالْأَرْجُلُ بِمَا كَانَا يَكْسِبُونَ فَسَوْفَ تَعْلَمُ أَمْرِي وَأَمْرَكَ عِنْدَهُ غَدًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «صَدَقَتْ ثُمَّ صَدَقَتْ كَيْفَ يُقَدِّسُ اللَّهُ قَوْمًا لَا يُؤْخَذُ لِضَعِيفِهِمْ مِنْ شَدِيدِهِمْ»
