Hadith 3047

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَمَّا وَقَعَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْمَعَاصِي نَهَتْهُمْ عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا " فَجَالَسُوهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ ، وَوَاكَلُوهُمْ ، وَشَارَبُوهُمْ ، فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ ، وَلَعَنَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُدَ ، وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ ، قَالَ : فَجَلَسَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا ، فَقَالَ : لَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى تَأْطُرُوهُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ أَطْرًا " ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ : وَكَانَ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ لَا يَقُولُ فِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ وَقَدْ رُوِيَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَهُ ، وَبَعْضُهُمْ يَقُولُ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُرْسَلٌ .
´Narrated 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud:` "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'When the Children of Isra'il fell into disobedience, their scholars forbade them from it. But they did not stop, so they sat with them in their gatherings, and participated in eating and drinking with them. So Allah pitted their hearts against each other, and cursed them upon the tongue of Dawud and 'Eisa bin Mariam. That was because they disobeyed and were ever transgressing.'" He said: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat up after he had been reclining, and he said: 'No, by the One in Whose Hand is my soul! Not until you incline them to the truth.'" 'Abdullah bin 'Abdur-Rahman said: "Yazid said: 'Sufyan Ath-Thawri would not say in it: "From 'Abdullah."

Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
“Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud (David) and ‘Isa (Jesus), son of Maryam (Mary), alayhim as-salam. This was because they would disobey and transgress beyond bounds. Whatever evil a group among them committed, they would not prevent one another from it. Indeed, they used to do very evil deeds. You see many of them taking the disbelievers as allies; they have adopted a very evil way for themselves, as a result of which Allah is extremely angry with them, and they will abide forever in punishment in the Hereafter. And if these people had believed in Allah, and in this Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and in what was sent down to him, they would not have taken the disbelievers as allies, but most of them are defiantly disobedient and wicked.” (Al-Ma’idah: 78)

Benefits and Issues:
This narration is weak in its chain of transmission, but the reality is that if one does not maintain enmity for the sake of Allah (lillah fi Allah) with the sinners, oppressors, and people of innovation, and does not cut off relations with them, but instead freely associates with them to the extent that even the sense of religious honor (ghayrah) is lost, then, in my opinion, the punishment for this should be extremely severe right here, as is evident from the history of Bani Isra'il and the current state of the Muslim Ummah.
Wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.
