O Muslim women, do not belittle the gift of any woman in your neighbourhood, even if it happens to be a goat’s hoof. HADLTH OF AL-BUKHARI AND MUSLIM ON THE AUTHORITY OF ABU HURAYRAH. 92 According to Anas ibn Malik, when God’s Messenger said, ‘Help your brother, irrespective of whether he is the oppressor or the oppressed,’ a man said, ‘O Messenger of God, I can help the oppressed, but how can I help the oppressor?’ The Prophet replied, ‘Stop him from committing an act of oppression. That in itself is a form of help.’ HADITH OF AL-BUKHARI AND MUSLIM.
