جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2255
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik, that the Prophet(s.a.w) said: Help your brother whether he is an oppressor or oppressed. It was said: O Messenger of Allah! I help him when he is oppressed. But how can I help him when he oppresses? He said: Prevent him from oppression, that is your help for him.
