4014. It was narrated that Abu Umayyah Sha'bâni said: "I came to Abu Tha'labah Al-Khushani and said: 'How do you understand this Verse?' He said: 'Which verse? I said: "O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you follow the (right) guidance, no hurt can come to you from those who are in error."?'[2] He said: 'You have asked one who knows about it. I asked the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ about it and he said: "Enjoin good upon one another and forbid one another to do evil, but if you see overwhelming stinginess, desires being followed, this world being preferred (to the Hereafter), every person with an opinion feeling proud of it, and you realize that you have no power to deal with it, then you have to mind your own business and leave the common folk to their own devices. After you will come days of patience, during which patience will be like grasping a burning ember, and one who does good deeds will have a reward like that of fifty men doing the same deed." (Hasan)

Arabic text

4014 - هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا صَدَقَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُتْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عَمِّي عَمْرُو بْنُ جَارِيَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَيَّةَ الشَّعْبَانِيِّ، قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ؟ قَالَ: أَيَّةُ آيَةٍ؟ قُلْتُ: {يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ} [المائدة: 105] ، قَالَ: سَأَلْتَ عَنْهَا خَبِيرًا، سَأَلْتُ عَنْهَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «بَلِ ائْتَمِرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ، وَتَنَاهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ، حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتَ شُحًّا مُطَاعًا، وَهَوًى مُتَّبَعًا، وَدُنْيَا مُؤْثَرَةً، وَإِعْجَابَ كُلِّ ذِي رَأْيٍ بِرَأْيِهِ، وَرَأَيْتَ أَمْرًا لَا يَدَانِ لَكَ بِهِ، فَعَلَيْكَ خُوَيْصَّةَ نَفْسِكَ، وَدَعْ أَمْرَ الْعَوَامِّ، فَإِنَّ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ أَيَّامَ الصَّبْرِ، الصَّبْرُ فِيهِنَّ عَلَى مِثْلِ قَبْضٍ عَلَى الْجَمْرِ، لِلْعَامِلِ فِيهِنَّ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا، يَعْمَلُونَ بِمِثْلِ عَمَلِهِ»
