Sunday Hadith: The oppressed

The Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, sent Mu'adh to Yemen, saying "Beware the plea of the oppressed, for there is no screen between it and God."

The Prophet, peace and blessings upon him, said "What destroyed those before you was that whenever an aristocrat among them stole, they would let him be, but when one of the powerless among them stole, they would inflict the legal punishment on him."
