4009. It was narrated from 'Ubaidullāh bin Jarir that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'There is no people among whom sins are committed when they are stronger and of a higher status (i.e. they have the power and ability to stop the sinners) and they do not change them, but Allāh will send His punishment upon them all.'" (Hasan)
4009 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يُعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِالْمَعَاصِي، هُمْ أَعَزُّ مِنْهُمْ وَأَمْنَعُ، لَا يُغَيِّرُونَ، إِلَّا عَمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ بِعِقَابٍ»

If Allāh grants wealth, honor, and power, to someone, then he is responsible to promote the good and prevent the evil. Whenever Allāh's punishment comes, it inflicts even the good people, but it comes only when disobedience and sins prevail in a society.
