Arabic text

١٩٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ‌الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «نِعِمَّا لِأَحَدِهِمْ أَنْ يُطِيعَ رَبَّهُ،» وَيُؤَدِّيَ حَقَّ سَيِّدِهِ يَعْنِي الْمَمْلُوكَ. وَقَالَ كَعْبٌ: صَدَقَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

At the root of all evil is the fact that each group considers it a legitimate practice to secure by use of force his rights from others but is oblivious of delivering rights to others. The world shall remain without peace and tranquility as long as people refuse to recognize the importance of rendering what is due to others, rather than wresting their rights from others.
