قال الله تعالىٰ: {أَتَأۡمُرُونَ ٱلنَّاسَ بِٱلۡبِرِّ وَتَنسَوۡنَ أَنفُسَكُمۡ وَأَنتُمۡ تَتۡلُونَ ٱلۡكِتَٰبَۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ} [البقرة: 44] ، وقال تعالىٰ: {يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُواْ لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُونَ * كَبُرَ مَقۡتًا عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُواْ مَا لَا تَفۡعَلُونَ} [الصف: 2 ــ 3]، وقال تعالىٰ إخْبَاراً عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ –عليه السلام_: {وَمَآ أُرِيدُ أَنۡ أُخَالِفَكُمۡ إِلَىٰ مَآ أَنۡهَىٰكُمۡ عَنۡهُۚ} [هود: 88].
Allah Almighty says: {Do you enjoin righteousness upon people while you forget yourselves, even though you recite the Scripture? Do you not understand?} [Surat al-Baqarah: 44] Allah Almighty also says: {O you who believe, why do you say what you do not do? It is most loathsome to Allah that you say what you do not do.} [Surat as-Saff: 2-3] Allah Almighty also says that Shu‘ayb (Jethro) (peace be upon him) said to his people: {I do not want to go against what I am forbidding you} [Surat Hūd: 88]
1) الوعيد من الله، والبغض الشديد، لمن يأمر بمعروف، أو ينهىٰ عن منكر، ثم يخالف فعـلُه قولَه.
1) Those who enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, yet their actions contradict their words are threatened of receiving punishment by Allah and are hateful in His Sight.
2) من يفعل ذلك فهو مخالف لطريقة المرسلين عليهم الصلاة والسلام.
2) Whoever does this is not complying with the way of the messengers (peace be upon them).
1/198ــ وعن أبي زيدٍ أسَامَةَ بنِ زيدِ بنِ حَارثَةَ رضي الله عنهما قال: سَمِعْتُ رسولَ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، يَقُولُ: «يُؤْتَىٰ بالرَّجُلِ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ فَيُلْقَىٰ في النَّار، فَتَنْدَلِقُ أَقْتَابُ بَطْنِهِ، فَيَدُورُ بِهَا كَمَا يَدُورُ الحِمَارُ في الرَّحَا، فَيَجْتَمعُ إلَيْهِ أهْلُ النَّارِ، فَيَقُولُونَ: يَا فُلانُ مَا لَكَ؟ ألمْ تَكُ تَأْمُرُ بالمَعْروفِ وَتَنْهَىٰ عَنِ المُنْكَر؟ فَيَقُولُ: بَلَى، كُنْتُ آمُرُ بالمَعْرُوفِ وَلا آتِيْه، وَأَنْهَىٰ عَنِ المُنْكَرِ وَآتِيهِ». متفق عليه.
198/1- Abu Zayd Usāmah ibn Zayd ibn Hārithah (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) saying: “A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the fire, and his intestines will slip out and he will go around by them like a donkey goes around a millstone. The dwellers of Hell will gather around him and say, ‘O so-and-so, what is the matter with you? Did you not use to command us to do right and forbid us from doing wrong?’ He will reply, ‘Yes, I commanded you to do right but I did not do it myself, and I forbade you from doing wrong but I did it myself.’” [Narrated by Al-Bukhāri and Muslim]
قولُهُ: «تَنْدَلِقُ» هُوَ بالدَّالِ المهملةِ، وَمَعْنَاهُ تَخْرُجُ. وَ«الأَقْتَابُ»: الأَمْعَاءُ، وَاحِدُهَا قِتْبٌ.
