1.32 Prohibition and Avoidance of Harm

١۔٣٢ لا ضرر ولا ضرار

[Machine] On the authority of Abu Said al-Khudri: "There should be no harm or reciprocating harm." This is a good Hadith narrated by Ibn Majah, Ad-Daraqutni, and others, with a connected chain of narrators. Malik also narrated it in "Al-Muwatta" from Amr ibn Yahya, from his father, as a sent message, omitting the attribution to Abu Said. And there are variations of its chain that strengthen each other.

عَنْ أبِي سَعِيدٍ الخُدْرِيِّ: «لا ضَرَرَ ولا ضِرارَ» حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ رَواهُ ابْنُ ماجَهْ والدّارَقُطْنِيُّ وغَيْرُهُما مُسْنَدًا ورَواهُ مالِكٌ فِي «المُوَطَّإ» عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ يَحْيى عَنْ أبِيهِ مُرْسَلًا فَأسْقَطَ أبا سَعِيدٍ ولَهُ طُرُقٌ يَقْوى بَعْضُها بِبَعْضٍ

Harm must not be caused nor reciprocated

(32) ibnmajah:2340ʿAbd Rabbih b. Khālid al-Numayrī Abū al-Mughallis > Fuḍayl b. Sulaymān > Mūsá b. ʿUqbah > Isḥāq b. Yaḥyá b. al-Walīd > ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit

“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.”  

(٣٢) ابن ماجة:٢٣٤٠حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ رَبِّهِ بْنُ خَالِدٍ النُّمَيْرِيُّ أَبُو الْمُغَلِّسِ حَدَّثَنَا فُضَيْلُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَضَى أَنْ لاَ ضَرَرَ وَلاَ ضِرَارَ  

(32-2) ahmad:2865ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Jābir > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There should be no causing of harm or reciprocation of harm. A person is allowed to fix a wooden peg in the wall of his neighbor, and the width of a public pathway is seven cubits."  

(٣٢-٢) أحمد:٢٨٦٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا ضَرَرَ وَلَا ضِرَارَ وَلِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ خَشَبَةً فِي حَائِطِ جَارِهِ وَالطَّرِيقُ الْمِيتَاءُ سَبْعَةُ أَذْرُعٍ
