Sunan Abi Dawud 5120 (Book 43, Hadith 348) #25411
Defending Your Tribe Without Sinning

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) advised people to defend their tribe, as long as they do not commit any sin.

Narrated Suraqah ibn Malik ibn Ju'sham al-Mudlaji: The Messenger of Allah gave us an address and said: The best of you is the one who defends his tribe, so long as he commits no sin. Abu Dawud said: Abu Ayyub b. Suwaid is weak.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيَّبِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ سُرَاقَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ الْمُدْلِجِيِّ، قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ خَيْرُكُمُ الْمُدَافِعُ عَنْ عَشِيرَتِهِ مَا لَمْ يَأْثَمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُوَيْدٍ ضَعِيفٌ

Defend one's family and community from harm while staying within the boundaries of Islamic law .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ gave a sermon in which he advised people to defend their tribe, so long as they do not commit any sin. He was emphasizing the importance of protecting one’s family and community from harm, while also reminding them that it is important to stay within the boundaries of Islamic law. This hadith teaches us that we should be loyal and protective of our families and communities, but we must also remember that our actions must remain within the bounds of Islamic law. We should strive to protect our families and communities without compromising our faith or breaking any laws.

Additionally, this hadith reminds us that loyalty is an important value in Islam; however, it does not mean blindly following orders or sacrificing one’s own beliefs for the sake of loyalty. We should always strive to make decisions based on what is right according to Islamic teachings rather than simply following orders without question.
