ASSOCIATING WITH THOSE WHO DO NOT FEAR ALLAH H 197 "The first weakness to develop among the Children of Israel was when one meet another and advised him saying, 'Fear Allah and stop what you are doing, because it is unlawful.' The next day he met him again and found him doing the same, but this did not prevent him from eating, drinking and associating with him. It was on account their heedless association that Allah struck some of their hearts by the others. Then the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, recited: 'Those who disbelieved of the Children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, the son of Mary, because they disobeyed and transgressed. They did not forbid one another from the wrongdoing they were committing. Evil is what they were doing. You see many of them taking the unbelievers as guides. Evil is that to which their souls forwarded them, that Allah is angered against them, and in the punishment they shall live for ever. Had they believed in Allah and the Prophet (Muhammad) and that which is sent down to him, they would not have taken them as guides. But many of them are evildoers.'" 5:78-81 Koran Then he continued: "Indeed, by Allah, you encourage good and forbid evil and seize the hand of the wrongdoer and persuade him to act justly and establish him firmly on the right. If you do not, Allah will join the hearts of some of you with the hearts of others and will curse you as he cursed them. When the Children of Israel became sinful their knowledgeable people forbade them, but they would not stop. Yet the religious leaders themselves associated with them eating and drinking. So they were cursed by the tongue of David and Jesus, the son of Mary because they were disobedient and transgressed. At that point the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, who had been leaning back on a pillow sat up and said: 'No, no, by Him in whose Hands is my life, there is no escape for you but that you persuade them to act justly.'" R 197 Abu Daud and Tirmidhi with a chain up to Abdullah son of Mas'ud who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
196- الثالث عشر : عن ابن مسعود رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "إنَّ أوَّلَ مَا دَخَلَ النَّقْصُ عَلَى بَنِي إسْرَائِيلَ أنَّهُ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَلْقَى الرَّجُلَ ، فَيَقُولُ : يَا هَذَا، اتَّقِ الله ودَعْ مَا تَصْنَعُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يَحِلُّ لَكَ ، ثُمَّ يَلْقَاهُ مِنَ الغَدِ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ ، فَلا يَمْنَعُهُ ذلِكَ أنْ يَكُونَ أكِيلَهُ وَشَريبَهُ وَقَعيدَهُ ، فَلَمَّا فَعَلُوا ذلِكَ ضَرَبَ اللهُ قُلُوبَ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ" ثُمَّ قَالَ : ( لُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرائيلَ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُدَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ كَانُوا لا يَتَنَاهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ فَعَلُوهُ لَبِئْسَ مَا كَانُوا يَفْعَلُونَ تَرَى كَثِيراً مِنْهُمْ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَبِئْسَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لَهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ ( - إِلَى قوله - ) فاسِقُونَ ) [ المائدة : 78- 81 ] ثُمَّ قَالَ : "كَلاَّ، وَاللهِ لَتَأمُرُنَّ بالمَعْرُوفِ ، وَلَتَنْهَوُنَّ عَنِ المُنْكَرِ ، وَلَتَأخُذُنَّ عَلَى يَدِ الظَّالِمِ ، وَلَتَأطِرُنَّهُ عَلَى الحَقِّ أطْراً ، وَلَتَقْصُرُنَّه عَلَى الحَقِّ قَصْراً ، أَوْ لَيَضْرِبَنَّ اللهُ بقُلُوبِ بَعْضِكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ ، ثُمَّ ليَلْعَننكُمْ كَمَا لَعَنَهُمْ" رواه أَبُو داود والترمذي ، وَقالَ : "حديث حسن" . هَذَا لفظ أَبي داود ، ولفظ الترمذي ، قَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "لَمَّا وَقَعَتْ بَنُو إسْرَائِيلَ في المَعَاصي نَهَتْهُمْ عُلَمَاؤهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا ، فَجَالَسُوهُمْ في مَجَالِسِهمْ ، وَوَاكَلُوهُمْ وَشَارَبُوهُمْ ، فَضَربَ اللهُ قُلُوبَ بَعضِهِمْ بِبعْضٍ ، وَلَعَنَهُمْ عَلَى لِسانِ دَاوُد وعِيسَى ابنِ مَرْيَمَ ذلِكَ بما عَصَوا وَكَانُوا يَعتَدُونَ" فَجَلَسَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم وكان مُتَّكِئاً ، فَقَالَ : "لا ، والَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى تَأطِرُوهُمْ عَلَى الحَقِّ أطْراً" . قوله : "تَأطِرُوهم" : أي تعطفوهم . " ولتقْصُرُنَّهُ" : أي لتحبِسُنَّه .
