وَعَنْ أُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " يُجَاءُ بِالرَّجُلِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ فَتَنْدَلِقُ أَقْتَابُهُ فِي النَّارِ فَيَطْحَنُ فِيهَا كَطَحْنِ الْحِمَارِ بِرَحَاهُ فَيَجْتَمِعُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُونَ: أَيْ فُلَانُ مَا شَأْنُكَ؟ أَلَيْسَ كُنْتَ تَأْمُرُنَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَانَا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ؟ قَالَ: كُنْتُ آمُرُكُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَا آتِيهِ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَآتِيهِ ". مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Usamah bin Zaid Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "On the day of resurrection, a man will be brought and thrown into hell. His intestines will come out (promptly) in hell and he will go round grinding them just as a donkey goes round (grinding flour) with its millstone (meaning, he will move round trampling his intestines under his feet).The inmates of hell (being the wicked of his time whom he had preached) will close in around him and ask 'O you! What's wrong with you? Had you not enjoined us to do pious work and forbid us to do evil? He will agree Yes, I did enjoin you to do pious work, but did not do it myself. And I did forbid you to do evil, but I did not abstain from it myself.' [1]
