Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you should consider himself so insignificant that when he sees a matter in which it is his duty to speak for the sake of Allah Almighty, but he remains silent. Then when Allah Almighty asks him: "What prevented you from speaking at that moment?" he will say: "O my Lord! I was afraid of the people." Allah Almighty will say: "I was more deserving that you should have feared Me."
