The questioner : The presenter presents to you a question from the professor regarding the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan Abi Dawud 4336Da'if (Al-Albani) We request from the honorable the meaning of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) Sunan Abi Dawud 4336Da'if (Al-Albani) and the completion of the hadith and its degree of authenticity, if possible?
The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. This hadith indicates the obligation of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong and its emphasis, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This phrase is the answer to an implied oath, estimated to be: “By Allah, you will surely enjoin.”
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : It is a statement in the meaning of command and compulsion. This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah, and there is a discussion regarding its chain because it is defective due to being mursal and munqati'. The completion of the hadith is that the first thing that brought deficiency upon the Children of Israel was that a man would pass by another man and say:Sunan Abi Dawud 4336Da'if (Al-Albani) Then he said: [Al-Ma'idah 5:78-81] Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:1099 And the meaning of Sunan Abi Dawud 4336Da'if (Al-Albani) is that you overpower him, meaning you overpower him and compel him to the truth until he becomes upright. And that is because if he does not become upright, it will be destruction for him and for the one who remained silent about his wrongdoing.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Yes.
you must enjoin what is good and prohibit what is evil, prevent the wrongdoer, bend him into conformity with what is right, and restrict him to what is right.
لتأمرن بالمعروف ولتنهون عن المنكر ولتأخذن على يد السفيه ولتأطرنه على الحق أطراbend him into conformity with what is right
لتأطرنه على الحق أطراThe Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. This hadith indicates the obligation of enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong and its emphasis, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
You will surely enjoin

The Shaykh : It is a statement in the meaning of command and compulsion. This hadith was narrated by Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah, and there is a discussion regarding its chain because it is defective due to being mursal and munqati'. The completion of the hadith is that the first thing that brought deficiency upon the Children of Israel was that a man would pass by another man and say:
O so-and-so, fear Allah, and abandon what you are doing, for it is not lawful for you. He then met him the next day and that did not prevent him from eating with him, drinking with him and sitting with him. When they did so. Allah mingled their hearts with each other.
يا هذا اتق الله ودع ما تصنع فإنه لا يحل لك، ثم يلقاه من الغد وهو على حاله فلا يمنعه ذلك أن يكون أكيله وشريبه وقعيده، فلما فعلوا ذلك ضرب الله قلوب بعضهم ببعض(78) Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed. (79) They used not to prevent one another from wrongdoing that they did. How wretched was that which they were doing. (80) You see many of them becoming allies of those who disbelieved. How wretched is that which they have put forth for themselves in that Allah has become angry with them, and in the punishment they will abide eternally. (81) And if they had believed in Allah and the Prophet and in what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them are defiantly disobedient.
لُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُدَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ * كَانُوا لا يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنكَرٍ فَعَلُوهُ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ * تَرَى كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَبِئْسَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لَهُمْ أَنفُسُهُمْ أَنْ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَفِي الْعَذَابِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ * وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالنَّبِيِّ وَمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَNo, by Allah, you will surely enjoin what is right, and you will surely forbid what is wrong, and you will surely take hold of the hand of the wrongdoer and force him to the truth by force
