Sunan an-Nasai 4081 (Book 37, Hadith 116) #18614
Defending One's Wealth

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that if someone tries to take away one's wealth, one should remind them of Allah and seek help from the Muslims around them. If there are no Muslims around, then they should seek help from the ruler. If the ruler is far away, then they should fight to defend their wealth until they either become a martyr or protect their wealth successfully.

It was narrated from Qabus bin Mukhariq that his father said: "I heard Sufyan Ath-Thawri narrating this Hadith. He said: 'A man came to the Prophet SAW and said: "What if a man comes to me and wants to take my wealth?" He said: "Remind him of Allah". 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?" He said: "Fight to defend your wealth until you either become one of the martyrs of the Hereafter, or you protect your wealth (successfully)".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that if someone tries to take away one's wealth, it is important to remember Allah first and foremost. Then, it is important to seek help from those around you who are Muslim as well as seeking help from the ruler in charge of your area. If all else fails and the ruler is too far away for assistance, then it is permissible for an individual to fight in order to protect their own wealth until either they become a martyr or successfully protect their own property. It teaches us that we must be willing to stand up for ourselves when necessary but also reminds us not forget about Allah in times of difficulty or distress.
