26 – Chapter: The Prohibition of Wrongdoing and the Command to Restore Usurped Rights

Allah the Exalted says: “No close friend will the wrongdoers have (1), nor any intercessor who will be obeyed.” [Ghāfir: 18] And He says: “And the wrongdoers shall have no helper.” [al-Hajj: 71]

As for the hadiths, they include:

The hadith of Abū Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, mentioned at the end of the previous chapter on striving (2).

208 – Jābir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Beware of wrongdoing, for wrongdoing will be layers of darkness on the Day of Resurrection. And beware of avarice, for avarice destroyed those who came before you (3); it drove them to shed one another’s blood (4) and to violate what had been forbidden to them.” Narrated by Muslim.

209 – Abū Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Rights will certainly be returned (5) to their owners on the Day of Resurrection, until even the hornless sheep will receive retaliation from the horned one.” Narrated by Muslim.

210 – Ibn ʿUmar, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: “We were discussing the Farewell Pilgrimage while the Prophet ﷺ was still among us (6), and we did not know what the Farewell Pilgrimage was until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praised Allah and glorified Him. He then mentioned the False Messiah at length and said: ‘Every prophet whom Allah has sent warned his community about him; Noah warned his people, and so did the prophets after him. Should he emerge among you, whatever of his affair is unclear to you will not remain hidden. Your Lord is not one-eyed, whereas he…’”

(1) al-hamim: a close, compassionate relative or friend. (2) See note no. 113. (3) That is, from among the nations. (4) Meaning: they killed one another, and wa-istahallu maharimahum— they treated intercourse with women forbidden to them as lawful and committed fornication with them. (5) The verb la-yuʾaddiyanna (with ḍamma on the faʾ, fatḥa on the hamza, and a doubled open dal) means: “By Allah, God will certainly restore all rights,” while al-jalhaʾ (with fatḥa on the jim, sukūn on the lam, and an un-dotted ha) denotes an animal that has no horns. This is an explicit affirmation that beasts will be resurrected on the Day of Judgment and returned to life just as accountable human beings, children, and the mentally incapacitated are. (6) That is, between us.

٢٦ - باب تحريم الظلم والأمر بردّ المظالم قال الله تعالى : ﴿ مَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ حَمِيمٍ ﴾ (١) وَلَا شَفِيعٍ يُطَاعُ [ غافر : ١٨ ] . وقال تعالى : ﴿ وَمَا لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ نَصِيرٍ ﴾ [ الحج : ٧١ ] . وأما الأحاديث فمنها : حديث أبي ذر رضي الله عنه المتقدم في آخر باب المجاهدة (٢) . ٢٠٨ - وعن جابر رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله ﷺ قال : « اتقوا الظلم فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة ، واتقوا الشح فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم (٣) ؛ حملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم (٤) واستحلوا محارمهم » رواه مسلم . ٢٠٩ - وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله ﷺ قال : « لَتُؤَدَّنَّ الْحُقُوقُ (٥) إِلَى أَهْلِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، حَتَّى يُقَادَ لِلشَّاةِ الْجَلْحَاءِ مِنَ الشَّاةِ الْقَرْنَاءِ » رواه مسلم . ٢١٠ - وعن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال : كُنَّا نَتَحَدَّثُ عَنْ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ بَيْنَ أَظْهُرِنَا(٦) ، وَلَا نَدْرِي مَا حَجَّةُ الْوَدَاعِ حَتَّى حَمِدَ اللَّهَ رسول الله ﷺ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الْمَسِيحَ الدَّجَّالَ فَأَطْنَبَ فِي ذِكْرِهِ ، وَقَالَ : « مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلَّا أَنْذَرَهُ أُمَّتَهُ ؛ أَنْذَرَهُ نُوحٌ وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ، وَإِنَّهُ إِنْ يَخْرُجْ فِيكُمْ فَمَا خَفِيَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنْ شَأْنِهِ فَلَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكُمْ ، إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَيْسَ بِأَعْوَرَ وَإِنَّهُ
