Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no people among whom there is someone who commits acts of disobedience, while they are more numerous and mightier than him, yet they flatter him and remain silent and do not bring about change, except that a punishment will befall them because of him."
