Chapter: Enjoining what is good and forbidding what is evil
Sunan Ibn Majah 4009 — Enjoining what is good and forbidding what
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ , عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق , عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ , عَنْ أَبِيهِ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِالْمَعَاصِي , هُمْ أَعَزُّ مِنْهُمْ وَأَمْنَعُ , لَا يُغَيِّرُونَ , إِلَّا عَمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ بِعِقَابٍ " .
´It was narrated from ‘Ubaidullah bin Jarir that his father said:` “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: ‘There is no people among whom sins are committed when they are stronger and of a higher status (i.e. they have the power and ability to stop the sinners) and they do not change them, but Allah will send His punishment upon them all.’”
