"مَنْ نَصَرَ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى غَيرِ الحَقِّ فَهُوَ كَالبَعِيرِ الَّذِي رُدِّي فَهُوَ يُنْزعُ بِذَنَبِهِ".

abudawud:5117 – al-Nufaylī > Zuhayr > Simāk b. Ḥarb > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. ʿAbdullāh b. Masʿūd from his father

If anyone helps his people in an unrighteous cause, he is like a camel which falls into a well and is pulled out by its tail.

أبو داود:٥١١٧ – حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

مَنْ نَصَرَ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْحَقِّ فَهُوَ كَالْبَعِيرِ الَّذِي رُدِّيَ فَهُوَ يُنْزَعُ بِذَنَبِهِ
