Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ سَوَاءٍ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَوَاءٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنٍ الْمُعَلِّمِ، عَنْ مَطَرٍ الْوَرَّاقِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ مَنْ أَعَانَ عَلَى خُصُومَةٍ بِظُلْمٍ - أَوْ يُعِينُ عَلَى ظُلْمٍ - لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي سَخَطِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَنْزِعَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Muhammad bin Thalabah bin Sawa narrated to us: My paternal uncle, Muhammad bin Sawa, narrated to me, from Husain Al-Muallim, from Matar Al-Warraq, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever supports a dispute unjustly—or supports wrongdoing—will remain under Allah's anger until he withdraws.

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
  • The Arabic gives two formulations: supporting a dispute unjustly, or supporting injustice. “Until he withdraws” renders hatta yanzi; the object is left implicit.
