২৩. সে আমার ভাই, সে নিরানব্বই দুম্বার মালিক আর আমি মালিক একটি মাদী দুম্বার। এরপরও সে বলেঃ এটিও আমাকে দিয়ে দাও। সে কথাবার্তায় আমার উপর বল প্রয়োগ করে।
Ayat 23. (One of the Appellants said O Prophet Dawud PBUH (David), Verily, this my brother (in religion) has ninety nine lambs, while I have (only) one lamb, and he says: "Hand it over to me, and he overpowered me in speech."
Tafseer of Surah Suad Ayat 23. The brother who was most aggrieved said: "This my brother has a flock of ninety-nine sheep, and I have but one; yet he wants me to give up my one sheep to his keeping; and moreover he is not even fair-spoken. He talks like one meditating mischief, and he has not even the grace to ask as an equal, of one sharing in a business or inheritance. What shall I do?"
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or is oppressed". A man enquired: "O Messenger of Allah! I help him when he is oppressed, but how can I help him when he is an oppressor?'' He 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "You can keep him from committing oppression. That will be your help to him". [Al-Bukhari Volume 3, Book 43, Hadith Number 624].
Lesson: as mentioned above in Surah As-Suad Ayat 23. (One of the Appellants said O Prophet Dawud PBUH (David), Verily, this my brother (in religion) has ninety nine lambs, while I have (only) one lamb, and he says: "Hand it over to me, and he overpowered me in speech." This Hadith contains a very comprehensive injunction to eliminate disturbance and tyranny in the Muslim society. It not only ordains helping the oppressed but also encourages people endowed with moral courage to stop the oppressor's oppression. Doing so requires great courage and boldness, but Muslims would be able to do full justice to their duty of wishing well to their fellow Muslims when they develop the moral courage to stop the oppressor from tyranny, or at least protest against it verbally.
