Sunan Ibn Majah 2832 (Book 24, Hadith 80) #32186
Seeking Help from Polytheists is Forbidden

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us not to seek help from those who practice polytheism.

It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allah said: 'We do not seek the help of the polytheist".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ نِيَارٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِنَّا لاَ نَسْتَعِينُ بِمُشْرِكٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَوْ زَيْدٍ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that we should not seek help from those who practice polytheism, or the worship of multiple gods. This is because it goes against the teachings of Islam, which is based on monotheism, or the belief in one God. The Prophet Muhammad was very clear in his teaching that we should only seek help and guidance from Allah alone. He also warned us against seeking help and guidance from anyone else, as this could lead to a form of idolatry or shirk. We must remember that Allah alone has power over all things and He alone can provide us with what we need in life.

This hadith also reminds us to be careful about whom we associate ourselves with and take advice from. We should always strive to surround ourselves with people who are practicing Muslims and have good morals so that our faith remains strong and our actions are guided by Islamic principles. It is important for us to remember that seeking help outside of Allah will only lead to disappointment as no one else can provide what only He can give us - true peace, contentment, success, and guidance in this life and the hereafter.
