It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Allah Almighty will question the servant on the Day of Resurrection about various matters, to the extent that He will even ask: When you saw evil, what prevented you from rejecting it? So when Allah Almighty places its reasoning in His servant’s mind, he will say: O my Lord! I trusted in You and feared the people.
