Helping Oppressors and Oppressed Brothers

عَنْ أَنَسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْصُرُهُ إِذَا كَانَ مَظْلُومًا أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا كَانَ ظَالِمًا كَيْفَ أَنْصُرُهُ قَالَ تَحْجُزُهُ أَوْ تَمْنَعُهُ مِنْ الظُّلْمِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ نَصْرُهُ 

According to Anas RA, the Prophet SAW said: "'Help your brother, whether he is oppressing or being oppressed."  A man asked;  O Messenger of Allah, I know if he is wronged, but how can I help a brother who commits wrongdoing?  ' The Prophet answered;  "You prevent him or restrain him from tyranny, that is the way to help him."

Learnings:
1. A Muslim must help other Muslims. 

2. If our brother is wronged, it is our responsibility to help and defend him. 

3. If our brother commits injustice, it is our responsibility to help him not to continue committing injustice. For example, if our brother steals, bribes, mistreats people or animals, we must stop, prevent him from continuing to do injustice. 

4. A Muslim must not blindly defend his brother who commits injustice 

5. Help others not to be oppressed by the oppressors by warning them about the oppressiveness of the oppressors.
