وَعَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ الْكِنْدِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَوْلًى لَنَا أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَدِّيرضي الله عنه يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى لَا يُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّةَ بِعَمَلِ الْخَاصَّةِ حَتَّى يَرَوُا الْمُنْكَرَ بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانِيهِمْ وَهُمْ قَادِرُونَ عَلَى أَنْ يُنْكِرُوهُ فَلَا يُنْكِرُوا فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَذَّبَ اللَّهُ العامَّةَ والخاصَّةَ» . رَوَاهُ فِي «شرح السّنة»
Sayyiduna Adiy ibn Adiy Kindi reported that one of their freed men told him that he had heard his (Adiy's) grandfather (Amirah kindi) say that he had heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ say, "Allah, the Glorified, does not punish the majority of a people for the bad deeds of some of them. But, if they see that some of them perpetrate deeds disapproved by Shari'ah (divine law) and they have the capability of preventing the wrong yet they do not forbid them, then though most of them do not stop the few) Allah will punish both the common people and the nobles."
