Sahih al-Bukhari 2444 (Book 46, Hadith 5) #2339
Helping Others Regardless of Circumstance

SUMMARY: Helping others, regardless of whether they are oppressors or oppressed, is important and should be done by preventing the oppressor from oppressing others.

Narrated Anas: Allah's Messenger said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one. People asked, "O Allah's Messenger ! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet said, "By preventing him from oppressing others".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا نَنْصُرُهُ مَظْلُومًا، فَكَيْفَ نَنْصُرُهُ ظَالِمًا قَالَ ‏"‏ تَأْخُذُ فَوْقَ يَدَيْهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that it is important to help our brothers and sisters, no matter what their circumstances may be. If someone is an oppressor, we should not ignore them but instead try to prevent them from oppressing others. We can do this by speaking up against injustice and helping those who are being oppressed. On the other hand, if someone is being oppressed we should also help them in any way we can such as providing emotional support or advocating for their rights. In either case, it is important to remember that everyone deserves kindness and respect regardless of their situation in life.
