Hadith 4007
حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى , أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدِ بْنِ جَدْعَانَ , عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ خَطِيبًا , فَكَانَ فِيمَا قَالَ : " أَلَا لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ رَجُلًا هَيْبَةُ النَّاسِ أَنْ يَقُولَ بِحَقٍّ إِذَا عَلِمَهُ " , قَالَ : فَبَكَى أَبُو سَعِيدٍ , وَقَالَ : قَدْ وَاللَّهِ رَأَيْنَا أَشْيَاءَ فَهِبْنَا .
´It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up to deliver a sermon, and one of the things he said was:` “Indeed, fear of people should not prevent a man from speaking the truth, if he knows it.” Then Abu Sa'eed wept and said: "By Allah, we have seen things that made us scared (and we did not speak up)."
