Hadith #385
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَزِينٌ
الْجُهَنِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرُّقَادِ قَالَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَ مَوْلَايَ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ فَدُفِعْتُ إِلَى حُذَيْفَةَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنْ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَصِيرُ مُنَافِقًا وَإِنِّي لَأَسْمَعُهَا مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ فِي الْمَقْعَدِ الْوَاحِدِ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ لَتَأْمُرُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَتَنْهَوُنَّ عَنْ الْمُنْكَرِ وَلَتَحَاضُّنَّ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ أَوْ لَيُسْحِتَنَّكُمْ اللَّهُ جَمِيعًا بِعَذَابٍ أَوْ لَيُؤَمِّرَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ شِرَارَكُمْ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو خِيَارُكُمْ فَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَكُمْ

رزين
English Translation
It was narrated from Abu al-Ruqad that he said: 'I went out with my master when I was a young boy and was brought before Hudhayfa, who was saying: "In the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a man would say a word and thereby become a hypocrite. Yet I hear such words from one of you four times in a single sitting. You must enjoin what is right, forbid what is wrong, and urge one another to good — otherwise Allah will afflict you all with punishment, or He will cause the worst of you to rule over you and then the righteous among you will supplicate but their supplication will not be answered."'
