Wa Alikum As-salaam wa Rahmatu Allah wa Barakatu,
Wa Eyakum brother.
This Hadith confirms the choices that Allah (SWT) have given the believers in the Quran, here they are:
Ashoura
[36] Whatever ye are given (here) is (but) a convenience of this Life: but that which is with Allah is better and more lasting: (it is) for those who believe and put their trust in their Lord;
[37] Those who avoid the greater crimes and shameful deeds, and, when they are angry even then forgive;
[38] Those who hearken to their Lord, and establish regular prayer; who (conduct) their affairs by mutual Consultation; who spend out of what We bestow on them for Sustenance;
[39] And those who, when an oppressive wrong is inflicted on them, (are not cowed but) help and defend themselves.
[40] The recompense for an injury is an injury equal thereto (in degree): but if a person forgives and makes reconciliation, his reward is due from Allah: for (Allah) loveth not those who do wrong.
[41] But indeed if any do help and defend themselves after a wrong (done) to them, against such there is no cause of blame.
[42] The blame is only against those who oppress men with wrong-doing and insolently transgress beyond bounds through the land, defying right and justice: for such there will be a Penalty grievous.
[43] But indeed if any show patience and forgive, that would truly be an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs.
[44] For any whom Allah leaves astray, there is no protector thereafter. And thou wilt see the wrong-doers, when in sight of the Penalty, say: "Is there any way (to effect) a return?"
As- you can see in Ayah 37, Allah (SWT) said that when they are angry they forgive.
In Ayah 39, he (SWT) also describes them that they stand up firm when attacked and defend themsleves.
In Ayah 40, he (SWT) gives the right to respond back to an injury with an equal one, but also reminds them that whomever fogives, then his reward is up to Allah (SWT).
In Ayah 41, he (SWT) confirms the right to defend yourself and assures you that there is no blame on you when you do so.
In Ayah 42, he (SWT) explains to us who is to blamed and thier punishment.
In Ayah 43, he (SWT) tells us that being patient and forgiving is an exercise of courageous will and resolution in the conduct of affairs.
In Ayah 44, Allah (SWT) tells us that he (SWT) is our protector and whomever he (SWT) leaves astray, there is no protector for them.
I usually practice all those choices, depends on the situation.
Al-Hamdu ll'Allah, Allah (SWT) has given me enough knowledge and strength to jump to defend Allah (SWT), the Prophet (SAAWS) and his family, Islam and the women of Islam when they come under attack and I don't care what and who thinks of me when I do so.
Al-Hamdu ll'Allah, when it comes to some one attacking me usually I don't care and just be patient and let them.
Al-Hajj
[60] That (is so). And if one has retaliated to no greater extent than the injury he received, and is again set upon inordinately, Allah will help him: for Allah is One that blots out (sins) and forgives (again and again).
Mohammad
[7] O ye who believe! If ye will aid (the cause of) Allah, He will aid you, and plant your feet firmly.
Hope you understand your brother better after knowing this.
Your brother in Allah.
As-salaam Alikum.
