DO NOT HELP SATAN AGAINST YOUR BROTHER

1603

“A drunkard was brought to the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and he said, ‘Beat him.’ Some of us beat him with our hands, others with shoes, and some with pieces of cloth. When he returned to his people someone said, ‘May Allah disgrace you!’ The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said, ‘Do not help satan against him by saying such words.’”

Bukhari with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
