Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is this the hadith:
A believer is not stung twice from the same hole.لا يلدغ المؤمن من جحر واحد مرتين
Sunan Abi Dawud 4862Sahih (Al-Albani)
?

Answer:
It is a valid hadith, yes. Its meaning is that a believer should take precautions if he is stung from a hole by a person; he should take precautions. If Zayd deceived him once, let him be wary of him so that he does not deceive him again. And if 'Amr wronged him in a transaction, let him be wary that he might deceive him in… in another transaction, and so on. That is to say: he should guard against the harm of the one who first deceived him or harmed him. Yes.
