[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."

He said: "What if he pays no heed?" He said: "Seek the help of the Muslims around you against him." He said: "What if there are no Muslims around me?" He said: "Seek the help of the ruler against him." He said: "What if the ruler is far away from me?"
