Hadiths Of Helping the Oppressors and Tyrants

رسول الله (صلی الله علیه و آله):

مَنْ تَوَلَّى خُصُومَةَ ظَالِمٍ أَوْ أَعَانَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ نَزَلَ بِهِ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ قَالَ لَهُ أَبْشِرْ بِلَعْنَةِ اللَّهِ وَ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِير. و قَالَ: مَنْ دَلَّ جَائِراً عَلَى جَوْرٍ كَانَ قَرِينَ هَامَانَ فِي جَهَنَّم‏.

The Prophet Muhammad (S):

The Prophet (SAWA) said: 'He who undertakes the task of an oppressor’s disputation with someone or helps him with it, the angel of death will say to him when descending to seize his soul: ‘Receive the tidings of Allah’s curse and the fire of Hell which is an evil destination.' And he also said: 'One who leads a tyrant towards an act of aggression will be the companion of Haman in Hell.'

الإمام محمد الباقر (عليه السَّلام):

إنَّ للّهِ عزّ و جلّ جَنّةً لا يَدْخُلُها إلاّ ثلاثةٌ: رجُلٌ حَكَمَ على نَفْسِهِ بالحقِّ ، و رَجُلٌ زارَ أخاهُ المؤمنَ في اللّهِ ، و رَجُلٌ آثَرَ أخاهُ المؤمنَ في اللّهِ .

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (as):

Allah has a Garden [in paradise] that no one will enter other than three types of people: a man who judges his own self with truth, a man who visits his brother for the sake of Allah, and a man who gives his brother preference over himself for the sake of Allah.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

إذا حَكَمَ [ يَعني القاضيَ ]بِحُكمِنا فلم يَقبَلْهُ مِنهُ فإنّما استَخَفَّ بحُكْمِ اللّهِ و علَينا رَدَّ ، و الرادُّ علَينا الرادُّ عَلَى اللّهِ ، و هُو على حَدِّ الشركِ باللّهِ .

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

When a judge passes a verdict in accordance with our rulings but one does not accept it from him, he has indeed taken lightly God's decree and has rejected us [Ahl al-Bayt]. And he who rejects us has in fact rejected God and that is proportionate to ascribing partners to God [Shirk].

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

أيُّما مؤمنٍ قَدَّمَ مُؤمنا في خُصومَةٍ إلى قاضٍ أو سُلطانٍ جائرٍ فَقَضى علَيهِ بغَيرِ حُكمِ اللّهِ فَقَد شَرِكَهُ في الإثمِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Any believer who takes another believer to an unjust judge or ruler that they may resolve a dispute and they judge contrary to Allah’s decree, is as though he has partaken with them in the sin.

الإمام جعفر الصادق (عليه السَّلام ):

في تَحاكُمِ رَجلَينِ مِن أصحابِهِ إلَى الطاغوتِ و بينَهُما مُنازَعَةٌ في دَينٍ أو مِيراثٍ ـ : مَن تَحاكَمَ إلَى الطاغوتِ فَحُكِمَ لَهُ فإنّما يَأخُذُ سُحتا و إن كانَ حَقُّهُ ثابِتا لَهُ ، لأنّهُ أخَذَ بحُكمِ الطاغوتِ ، و قد أمَرَ اللّهُ أن يَكفُرَ بهِ.

Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣadiq (as):

Imam al-Sadiq (as), with regard to two of his companions who went to be judged before a tyrant in a dispute they had about a loan or inheritance, said, 'Whoever goes to be judged before a tyrant and he judges in favour of one of them, whatever he is compensated is unlawful, even if it was rightfully his, because he took it by judgment of a tyrant when Allah has ordered him to reject the tyrant.'
