Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,"A Muslim is a brother of another Muslim, so he should not oppress him, nor should he hand him over to an oppressor. Whoever fulfilled the needs of his brother, Allah will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort, Allah will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection, and whoever screened a Muslim, Allah will screen him on the Day of Resurrection . " (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Narrated Anas (may Allah be pleased with him):

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,"Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or he is an oppressed one”. People asked, "O Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! It is all right to help him if he is oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "By preventing him from oppressing others." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Narrated Muawiya bin Suwai (may Allah be pleased with him):

I heard Al-Bara' bin `Azib saying, "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)orders us to do seven things and prohibited us from doing seven other things." Then Al-Bara' mentioned the following:- (1) To pay a visit to the sick (inquiring about his health), (2) to follow funeral processions, (3) to say to a sneezer, "May Allah be merciful to you" (if he says, "Praise be to Allah!"), (4) to return greetings, (5) to help the oppressed, (6) to accept invitations, (7) to help others to fulfill their oaths. ((Sahih al-Bukhari. Hadith No. 753, Vol. 7)

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him):

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Whoever has oppressed another person concerning his reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before the Day of Resurrection when there will be no money (to compensate for wrong deeds), but if he has good deeds, those good deeds will be taken from him according to his oppression which he has done, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on him." (Sahih al-Bukhari)

Jabir b. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

“Be on your guard against committing oppression, for oppression is a darkness on the Day of Resurrection...” (Sahih Muslim)

Jabir b. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that two young men, one from the Muhajirin (emigrants) and the other one from the Ansars (helpers) fell into dispute and the Muhajir called his fellow Muhajirin, and the Ansar (the helper) called the Ansari (for help). In the meanwhile, Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came there and said:

 What is this, the proclamation of the days of jahiliya (ignorance)? They said: Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), there is nothing serious. The two young men fell into dispute and the one struck at the back of the other. Thereupon he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) (the Holy Prophet) said: “Well, a person should help his brother whether he is an oppressor or an oppressed. If he is the oppressor he should prevent him from doing it, for that is his help; and if he is the oppressed he should be helped (against oppression)”. (Sahih Muslim)

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as saying:

“When two persons indulge in hurling (abuses) upon one another, it would be the first one who would be the sinner so long as the oppressed does not transgress the limits”. (Sahih Muslim)

Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that:

When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would leave his house, he(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would say: “In the Name of Allah, I place my trust in Allah. O Allah! We seek refuge in You from slipping unintentionally or becoming misguided, or committing oppression or being oppressed, or acting ignorantly or being treated ignorantly (Bismillah, Tawwakultu Alallah. Allahumma, Inna Na’udhu Bika Min An Nazilla Aw Nadilla, Aw Nazlima Aw Nuzlam, Aw Najhala Aw Yujhal Alaina).” (Jami` at-Tirmidhi)
