It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and I recognized from his face that something had prompted him to do something. In any case, he performed ablution and went out without speaking to anyone. I came near the chambers and heard him saying: O people! Indeed, Allah Almighty says: Enjoin good and forbid evil before a time comes when you will call upon Me, but I will not answer you; you will ask of Me, but I will not grant you; and you will seek My help, but I will not help you.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … In order to spread goodness and virtue in this world and to eradicate evil and disobedience, the blessed chain of prophets and messengers was initiated, which ultimately concluded with Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. After him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, the chain of prophethood and messengership was brought to an end, but the responsibility of the noble prophets was entrusted to the scholars of Islam. In this world, truly fortunate are those who are being utilized to spread acts of goodness and to eliminate the existence of evil.
