´It was narrated from Abu ‘Ubaidah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:` “When the Children of Isral became deficient in religious commitment, a man would see his brother committing sin and would tell him not to do it, but the next day, what he had seen him do did not prevent him from eating or drinking with him, or mixing with him. So Allah made the hearts of those who did not commit sin like the hearts of those who did, and He revealed Qur’an concerning them and said: “Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of David and ‘Eisa, son of Maryam” until he reached: “And had they believed in Allah, and in the Prophet and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them (the disbelievers) as their friends; but many of them are disobedient (to Allah).”[5:78-81] The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat up and said: "No, not until they take the hand of the wrongdoer (i.e. restrain him] and force him to follow the right way."

Explanation:
1:
“Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), alayhim as-salam. This was because they would disobey and transgress beyond bounds. Whatever evil a group among them committed, they would not prevent one another from it. Indeed, they used to do very evil deeds. You see many of them taking the disbelievers as allies; they have adopted a very evil way for themselves, as a result of which Allah is extremely angry with them, and they will abide forever in punishment in the Hereafter. And if these people had believed in Allah, and in this Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and in what was sent down to him, they would not have taken the disbelievers as allies, but most of them are defiantly disobedient and wicked.” (Al-Ma’idah: 78)

Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission, but the reality is that if one does not maintain enmity for the sake of Allah (lillah fi Allah) with the sinners, oppressors, and people of innovation, and does not cut off relations with them, but instead freely associates with them to the extent that even the sense of religious honor (ghayrah) is lost, then, in my opinion, the punishment for this should be extremely severe right here, as is evident from the history of Bani Isra'il and the current state of the Muslim Ummah.
