سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4884
Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah ; Abu Talhah ibn Sahl al-Ansari: The Prophet ﷺ said: No (Muslim) man will desert a man who is a Muslim in a place where his respect may be violated and his honour aspersed without Allah deserting him in a place here he wishes his help; and no (Muslim) man who will help a Muslim in a place where his honour may be aspersed and his respect violated without Allah helping him in a place where he wishes his help. Yahya said: Ubaid Allah bin Abdullah bin Umar and Uqbah bin Shaddad transmitted it to me. Abu Dawud said: This Yahya bin Sulaim is the son of Zaid, the freed slave of the Prophet ﷺ, and Ismail bin Bashir is the freed slave of Banu Maghalah. Sometimes the name of Utbah bin Shaddad is mentioned instead of Uqbah.
