4017. Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri said: “I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: ‘Allāh will question His slave on the Day of Resurrection, until He says: “What kept you from denouncing evil when you saw it?” When Allāh grants His slave a response, he will say: “O Lord, I hoped for Your mercy but I feared the people.”” (Hasan)

4017 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَبُو طُوَالَةَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا نَهَارٌ الْعَبْدِيُّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَسْأَلُ الْعَبْدَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، حَتَّى يَقُولَ: مَا مَنَعَكَ إِذْ رَأَيْتَ الْمُنْكَرَ أَنْ تُنْكِرَهُ؟ فَإِذَا لَقَّنَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا حُجَّتَهُ، قَالَ: يَا رَبِّ رَجَوْتُكَ، وَفَرِقْتُ مِنَ النَّاسِ "

Commentary

Allāh, the Most Exalted, sometimes forgives sins due to some good deeds. If Allāh, the Most Exalted, wants to forgive a person, He inspires the correct answer in his heart. Indeed, the mercy of Allāh encompasses everything, but indulging in sins boldly and neglecting good deeds while relying solely on His mercy is nothing but a type of deviation.
