وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷿ يَسْأَلُ الْعَبْدَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ: مَا لَكَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْمُنْكَرَ فَلَمْ تُنْكِرْهُ؟ " قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " فَيُلَقَّى حُجَّتَهُ فَيَقُولُ: يَا رَبِّ خِفْتُ النَّاسَ وَرَجَوْتُكَ «. رَوَى الْبَيْهَقِيُّ الْأَحَادِيثَ الثَّلَاثَةَ فِي» شُعَبِ الْإِيمَانِ "
Abu Sa'eed Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said that on the day of resurrection Allah, Mighty and Glorious, will ask a man, what was wrong with you that when you saw something disapproved by Shari'ah (divine law), you did not express anger?" Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said that he will be inspired with an excuse and he will plead, "My Lord, I was afraid of men but had placed hope in you (for being forgiven)." [2]
