True, but these good intentions too have its limits.
I wonder, if Sheik Baaz took these Hadiths ‘literally’, when he issued his famous ‘Fatwa’ to please his masters in Riyadh and Washington, during 1991 Iraq Invasion “Saddam Hussain is enemy of God, against whom a Jihad is obligatory…..Any non-Muslim party (US and its ‘Willing partners) assisting the cause will be blessed by Allah.” (Toronto Globe and Mail, Feb. 2, 1991).
On the other hand, my little Hadith knowledge reminds me of the Prophet (pbuh) as saying “Whoever, seek help of a Kafir against another Believer, is not among my Ummah.”
That’s was the reason why Amir Muwayia rejected Byzantine king’s offer to send his forces to fight with his against Hazrat Ali (as), by saying “If your forces crossed Islamic borders, I will be the first one to fight against you under Ali’s leadership.”
