The hadith about the neighbor being attached to his neighbor's neck on the Day of Resurrection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Is it true that the neighbor is attached to the neck of the neighbor on the Day of Resurrection, and he says: "O my Lord! He saw me doing something wrong and did not forbid me from it,So Allah (Mighty and Majestic) says: so they both entered the Fire"?
By Allah! I do not know about the authenticity of this hadith; but every person who sees his brother doing something wrong, whether he is his neighbor or not, if he does not forbid him, then he is not sincere to him; because the completion of sincerity to your Muslim brothers when you see them doing something wrong is to clarify the wrong to them and warn them against it, and as for silence, that is a mistake. But there are obvious, clear wrongs known to everyone. Am I obligated to forbid it every time I see a man engaged in it? Shaving the beard, for example, is widespread among people now, and everyone knows that it is forbidden. Am I obligated to forbid it every time a man passes by me, or I pass by a man who has shaved his beard? There is difficulty in this; because this is well known. And so is smoking. As for wrongs that are not obvious and not well known, then it is obligatory for me, if I see someone engaged in them, to forbid him.
As for the first category, which is the famous, well-known wrongs, these are restricted by one's ability. If you sat with him for food or drink or something similar, then at that time he is directed with advice, even if it is one of the famous matters. But if he passes by you in the market,So you come and stop him and say: and you say, "Come, this is a wrong," then that is not obligatory for you.
