Hadith of 'Adi ibn 'Umayrah al-Kindi (may Allah be pleased with him)
Musnad Ahmad 17720 — Hadith of 'Adi ibn 'Umayrah al-Kindi
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سَيْفٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَدِيَّ بْنَ عَدِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَوْلًى لَنَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَدِيًّا يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَا يُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّةَ بِعَمَلِ الْخَاصَّةِ حَتَّى يَرَوْا الْمُنْكَرَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يُنْكِرُوهُ فَلَا يُنْكِرُوهُ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَذَّبَ اللَّهُ الْخَاصَّةَ وَالْعَامَّةَ
It is narrated from Hazrat Adi bin Umairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: Allah does not punish the common people because of the actions of the elite, unless they (the common people) begin to commit sins openly and the elite, despite having the power to stop them, do not do so. Then Allah subjects both the elite and the common people to punishment. Hadith number 17868 is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.
