[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is a person who loves his people a nationalist?" He said, "No." I asked, "Then who is a nationalist?" He said, "The one who aids his people in wrongdoing."
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّ قَوْمَهُ أَعَصِبِيٌّ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «لَا» قُلْتُ مَنَ الْعَصَبِيُّ؟ قَالَ «الَّذِي يُعِينُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ»
“I asked the Prophet ﷺ: ‘O Messenger of Allah, is it tribalism if a man loves his people?’ He said: ‘No, rather tribalism is when a man helps his people to do wrong.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3949)
سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُحِبَّ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنْ مِنَ الْعَصَبِيَّةِ أَنْ يُعِينَ الرَّجُلُ قَوْمَهُ عَلَى الظُّلْمِ
