عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا وَقَعَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْمَعَاصِي نَهَتْهُمْ عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا فَجَالَسُوهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ قَالَ يَزِيدُ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَأَسْوَاقِهِمْ وَوَاكَلُوهُمْ وَشَارَبُوهُمْ فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَلَعَنَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُدَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى تَأْطِرُوهُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ أَطْرًا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When disobedience began among the Children of Israel, their scholars forbade them, but when they did not desist, their scholars began to sit with them in their gatherings and markets, and to eat and drink with them. So Allah Almighty mingled the hearts of some with the hearts of others, and cursed them through the tongues of Dawud (peace be upon him) and Isa son of Maryam (peace be upon him). This was because they used to disobey and transgress. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was reclining, then he sat up and said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul! (Matters will be set right) when you turn them towards the truth.
