What is meant by "whosoever withholds a blind person from the path" in the Hadith: "Accursed is he who withholds a blind person from the path"?
This is part of a narrated by Imam Ahmad, authenticated by Al-Albani, and deemed to have a good chain of transmission by Shu'ayb Al-Arna'ut. Its text reads: "Cursed is he who curses his father. Cursed is he who curses his mother. Cursed is he who slaughters for other than Allah. Cursed is he who alters the landmarks of the earth. Cursed is he who misleads a blind person from his path. Cursed is he who has intercourse with an animal. Cursed is he who commits the act of the people of Lut." Al-Manawi explained "Cursed is he who misleads a blind person from his path" as referring to one who leads him astray from it, or guides him to a destination other than his intended one.
