The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

2
00:00:06,440 --> 00:00:12,439
On the authority of Abu Sa'id Sa'd ibn Malik ibn Sinan al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him

3
00:00:12,439 --> 00:00:16,440
That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said

4
00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:19,440
There shall be no causing harm, nor reciprocating harm

5
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,600
A hasan (good) hadith

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,600
Narrated by Ibn Majah, al-Daraqutni, and others

7
00:00:27,850 --> 00:00:31,850
This hadith elucidates a magnificent principle among the principles of Islam

8
00:00:32,850 --> 00:00:36,850
Which is the prohibition of everything that causes harm to oneself or to others

9
00:00:36,850 --> 00:00:41,850
Whether that harm is initiated or done in retaliation

10
00:00:41,850 --> 00:00:47,850
For Islam is a religion of justice and mercy that does not condone injury or injustice in any form

11
00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:53,850
Thus, the hadith establishes the principle of protecting rights and preventing aggression

12
00:00:53,850 --> 00:00:57,850
And it builds relationships founded upon justice and benevolence

13
00:00:57,850 --> 00:01:01,850
Which preserves the stability and well-being of society
