Hadith 1253
- " إن الناس إذا رأوا الظالم فلم يأخذوه بيده، أوشك أن يعمهم الله بعقاب منه ".
Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O people! You recite this verse: «يَاأَيُّهَاالَّذِينَآمَنُواعَلَيْكُمْأَنْفُسَكُمْلَايَضُرُّكُمْمَنْضَلَّإِذَااهْتَدَيْتُمْ» "O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you follow the right guidance, no harm can come to you from those who are in error." (5-Al-Ma'idah:105) And I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When people see an oppressor and do not stop him from his oppression, it is likely that Allah will inflict a general punishment upon them all."
