4338. It was narrated that Qais said: “Abū Bakr said, after praising and glorifying Allāh: ‘O people, you recite this Verse, but you do not understand it as it should be understood: “Take care of your own selves. If you follow the (right) guidance no harm can come to you from those who are in error.”’[1] He (one of the narrators) said: “From Khālid:[2] ‘And we heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “If the people see a wrongdoer and they do not stop him, soon Allāh will punish them all.”’ ‘Amr (one of the narrators) said, from Hushaim:[3] “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: “There is no people among whom acts of disobedience are done, and they are able to change them but they do not do so, but soon Allāh will punish them all.”’ (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwud said: And it was narrated – as Khālid said – by Abū Usāmah and a group. Shu‘bah said: “There is no people among whom acts of disobedience are done, and they are greater in number than those who do them...”

4338 - حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ بَقِيَّةَ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، الْمَعْنَى، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، عَنْ قَيْسٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: بَعْدَ أَنْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ: يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّكُمْ تَقْرَءُونَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ، وَتَضَعُونَهَا عَلَى غَيْرِ مَوَاضِعِهَا: {عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ} [المائدة: 105]، قَالَ: عَنْ خَالِدٍ، وَإِنَّا سَمِعْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ النَّاسَ إِذَا رَأَوُا الظَّالِمَ فَلَمْ يَأْخُذُوا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ، أَوْشَكَ أَنْ يَعُمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ بِعِقَابٍ» وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: عَنْ هُشَيْمٍ، وَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِالْمَعَاصِي، ثُمَّ يَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يُغَيِّرُوا، ثُمَّ لَا يُغَيِّرُوا، إِلَّا يُوشِكُ أَنْ يَعُمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ بِعِقَابٍ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: وَرَوَاهُ كَمَا قَالَ خَالِدٌ أَبُو أُسَامَةَ: وَجَمَاعَةٌ، وَقَالَ شُعْبَةُ فِيهِ: «مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِالْمَعَاصِي هُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّنْ يَعْمَلُهُ»
