Sharḥ Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn - Ibn al-'Uthaymin - (3/272)

Chapter 48 – A Warning against Harming the Righteous, the Weak, and the Poor

Allah the Exalted says:
“Those who abuse believing men and believing women for something they have not done have surely borne the burden of slander and a manifest sin.” (al-Ahzab 58)

He also says:
“So as for the orphan, do not oppress him; and as for the beggar, do not repel him.” (al-Duha 9–10)

The reports on this topic are numerous, among them:

• The hadith of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) cited in the previous chapter: “Whoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I have declared war upon him.”

• The hadith of Saʿd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned earlier under “Showing Kindness to the Orphan,” and the Prophet’s ﷺ words: “O Abu Bakr, if you have angered them, you have angered your Lord.”

⦗1/389⦘ – Jundub ibn ʿAbd Allah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever performs the dawn prayer is under Allah’s protection. Therefore, do not let Allah call you to account concerning His protection for anything; for if He calls someone to account concerning His protection, He will overtake him, then throw him face-first into the Fire of Hell.” Related by Muslim.

٤٨ ـ باب التحذير من إيذاء الصالحين والضعفة والمساكين قال الله تعالى: (وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتَاناً وَإِثْماً مُبِيناً) [الأحزاب: ٥٨] وقال تعالى: (فَأَمَّا الْيَتِيمَ فَلا تَقْهَرْ) وَأَمَّا السَّائِلَ فَلا تَنْهَرْ) [الضحى: ٩، ١٠] . وأما الأحاديث، فكثيرة منها: حديث أبي هريرة ﵁ في الباب قبل هذا: ((من عادى لي وليا فقد آذنته بالحرب)) . ومنها حديث سعد بن أبي وقاص ﵁ السابق في ((باب ملاطفة اليتيم)) وقوله ﷺ: ((يا أبا بكر لئن كنت أغضبتهم، لقد أغضبت ربك)) . ١/٣٨٩ ـ وعن جندب بن عبد الله ﵁ قال: قال رسول الله ﷺ: ((من صلى صلاة الصبح، فهو في ذمة الله، فلا يطلبنكم الله من ذمته بشيء، فإنه من يطلبه من ذمته بشيء يدركه، ثم يكبه على وجهه في نار جهنم)) رواه مسلم.
