وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ مَخَافَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِالْحَقِّ إِذَا رَآهُ وَعَلِمَهُ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ) إِذَا رَآهُ أَوْ عَلِمَهُ أَوْ رَآهُ أَوْ سَمِعَهُ (زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ) فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقَرِّبُ مِنْ أَجَلٍ وَلَا يُبَاعِدُ مِنْ رِزْقٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِحَقٍّ أَوْ يُذَكِّرَ بِعَظِيمٍ
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When a person sees the truth, recognizes it, and hears it, then the fear of people should not prevent him from expressing this truth. Indeed, by speaking the truth or by giving advice regarding a great matter, neither will his death come closer nor will his sustenance be taken away.
