عن حذيفة بن اليمان رضي الله عنهما عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال: «وَالَّذِي نَفسِي بِيَدِه، لَتَأْمُرُنَّ بِالمَعرُوف، وَلَتَنهَوُنَّ عَنِ المُنْكَر؛ أَو لَيُوشِكَنَّ الله أَن يَبْعَثَ عَلَيكُم عِقَاباً مِنْه، ثُمَّ تَدعُونَه فَلاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَكُم».
Kutoka kwa Hudhaifa bin Yamani -Radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu ziwe juu yao- Kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na Amani ziwe juu yake- yakwamba yeye alisema; "Namuapa yule ambaye nafsi yangu iko mkononi mwake, hakika mtaamrisha mema, na mtakataza mabaya; au hakika atakuwa karibu zaidi Mwenyezi Mungu kukutumieni adhabu toka kwake, kisha mtamuomba na wala hamtojibiwa".
Hudhayfah ibn al-Yamān (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is! Either you command good and forbid evil, or Allah will soon send upon you a punishment from Him, then you will pray to Him but He will not respond to you."
