Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: On the Day of Resurrection, various questions will be asked from one of you, until during this questioning he will also be asked: When you saw sin in the world, why did you not stop it? Then the servant to whom Allah Almighty grants understanding of the answer will say: O my Lord! I hoped for Your mercy and I was afraid of the people.
