Is this true?

@ZeeshanParvez

My translation comes out like this:

"In the time of the Prophet Blessings of Allah on him, there was a hypocrite. He hurt the Believers.

Where some of them said:

Rise brothers! We are seeking the help of the Messenger, Blessings of Allah on him, from this hypocrite. Thereupon, the Prophet, Blessings of Allah on him, said:

Surely, I am not being asked to help, rather Allah is being asked to help."

***For me to translate with a command there needs to be majzoom on the verb ‘seeking help’ … Just like there was a hazf of the nun on the verb Rise. furthermore, it is in majhool state which makes it even less like a command and more like a clarification.

That although they say they are asking me for help they are really asking Allah for help.

You did not read the above carefully did you? The only command in that entire Hadith is when they say Qumoo.

Istigathaa has never been in the state of a command.

Edit:** I think I follow your train of thought now. Where did you get your translation from by the way? All the Arabic websites have understood as I have presented it but if you have a reliable source which is using it in the way you present it do give me the reference.
