Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: It was said: O Messenger of Allah, will a town be destroyed while there are righteous people in it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." It was said: Why, O Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Because of their negligence and their silence about the acts of disobedience to Allah."
