Fatwa number ( 20276 )
Q: Can it be derived from the hadith of the man who (is thrown into the Fire, his intestines gush out, and he revolves as a donkey revolves around its mill …) the hadith, can it be derived from it that when the man called them, he called them to a corrupt methodology, commanding them to follow it, so they obeyed his command and prohibition, and thus the Fire became obligatory for them and for him?
A: The hadith mentioned in the question is reported in (the authentic collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim ) from al-A'mash from Abu Wa'il who said: It was narrated by Ghandar from Shu'bah from al-A'mash. This is the wording of al-Bukhari . And from the wording of this hadith it becomes clear
the reason this man entered the Fire, and the reason is not what was mentioned in the question. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

A: The hadith mentioned in the question is reported in (the authentic collections of al-Bukhari and Muslim ) from al-A'mash from Abu Wa'il who said:
It was said to Usamah ibn Zayd: "If you would go to so-and-so and speak to him." He said: "You think that I do not speak to him except that I am making you hear it. I speak to him in secret without opening a door that I would be the first to open, and I do not say to a man who is a ruler over me: 'He is the best of people,' after something I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They said: "What did you hear him say?" He said: "I heard him say: 'A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the Fire, and his intestines will gush out in the Fire, and he will revolve in it as a donkey revolves around its mill. The people of the Fire will gather around him and say: "O so-and-so, what is your matter? Were you not one who enjoined good and forbade evil?" He will say: "I used to command you to do good but I did not do it, and I used to forbid you from evil but I did it."
قيل لأسامة بن زيد : لو أتيت فلانًا فكلمته، قال: إنكم لترون أني لا أكلمه إلا أسمعكم، إني أكلمه في السر دون أن أفتح بابًا لا أكون أول من فتحه، ولا أقول لرجل أن كان عَلَيَّ أميرًا: إنه خير الناس بعد شيء سمعته من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قالوا: وما سمعته يقول؟ قال: سمعته يقول: يجاء بالرجل يوم القيامة فيلقى في النار فتندلق أقتابه في النار فيدور بها كما يدور الحمار برحاه فيجتمع أهل النار عليه فيقولون: أي فلان ما شأنك؟ أليس كنت تأمر بالمعروف وتنهى عن المنكر؟ قال: كنت آمركم بالمعروف ولا آتيه وأنهاكم عن المنكر وآتيهthe reason this man entered the Fire, and the reason is not what was mentioned in the question. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
