The Arabian peninsula was said to not practice the golden rule prior to the advent of Islam. According to [[Th. Emil Homerin]]: "Pre-Islamic Arabs regarded the survival of the tribe, as most essential and to be ensured by the ancient rite of blood vengeance."<ref>{{cite book|author1=Th.

From the [[hadith]]:
{{blockquote|A Bedouin came to the prophet, grabbed the stirrup of his camel and said: O the messenger of God! Teach me something to go to heaven with it. Prophet said: "As you would have people do to you, do to them; and what you dislike to be done to you, don't do to them. Now let the stirrup go! [This maxim is enough for you; go and act in accordance with it!]"|[[Kitab al-Kafi]], Volume 2, Book 1, Chapter 66:10<ref>{{cite book |title=Kitab al-Kafi |url=https://thaqalayn.net/hadith/2/1/66/10 |access-date=25 November 2023 |archive-date=25 November 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20231125194206/https://thaqalayn.net/hadith/2/1/66/10 |url-status=live }}</ref>}}

[[Ali ibn Abi Talib]] (4th [[Caliph]] in [[Sunni]] Islam, and first [[Imam]] in [[Shia]] Islam) says:
{{blockquote|O my child, make yourself the measure (for dealings) between you and others. Thus, you should desire for others what you desire for yourself and hate for others what you hate for yourself. Do not oppress as you do not like to be oppressed.
