The Forty Hadiths of al-Nawawi

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

00:00:12.439 --> 00:00:16.440
That the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said

00:00:16.440 --> 00:00:19.440
There shall be no causing harm, nor reciprocating harm

00:00:19.440 --> 00:00:21.600
A hasan (good) hadith

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:25.600
Narrated by Ibn Majah, al-Daraqutni, and others

00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:31.850
This hadith elucidates a magnificent principle among the principles of Islam

00:00:32.850 --> 00:00:36.850
Which is the prohibition of everything that causes harm to oneself or to others

00:00:36.850 --> 00:00:41.850
Whether that harm is initiated or done in retaliation

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

00:00:48.850 --> 00:00:53.850
Thus, the hadith establishes the principle of protecting rights and preventing aggression

00:00:53.850 --> 00:00:57.850
And it builds relationships founded upon justice and benevolence

00:00:57.850 --> 00:01:01.850
Which preserves the stability and well-being of society
