 أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَی أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَا قَرَبَ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْمُنْکِرِینَ أَظْهُرَهُمْ لَا یُعَیِّرُونَهُ إِلَّا أَوْشَکَ أَنْ یَعُمَّهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِعِقَابٍ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ.

1. My father (rah) said: it was narrated to me by Sa’d b. Abdillah from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Sinan who raised it to Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: “If some people of a community commit sins and if they are not stopped from doing so, a time will come soon when Allah will send chastisement on all of them.”

 حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَهَ بْنِ صَدَقَهَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ الْمُصِیبَهَ إِذَا عَمِلَ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ سِرّاً لَمْ تُضِرَّ إِلَّا عَامِلَهَا وَ إِذَا عَمِلَ بِهَا عَلَانِیَهً وَ لَمْ یُعَیَّرْ عَلَیْهِ أَضَرَّتِ الْعَامَّهَ قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ ذَلِکَ أَنَّهُ یُذِلُّ بِعَمَلِهِ دِینَ اللَّهِ وَ یَقْتَدِی بِهِ أَهْلُ عَدَاوَهٍ.

2.  Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates from his ancestors that the  Holy  Prophet  (s.a.w.s.)  said,  “One  who  is  committing sins  secretly,  it  is  harmful  for  that  individual  himself. However if he is sinning openly and is not being restrained, it is harmful for everyone.” Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “It is an insult of Allah’s religion. The sinners and their followers are like enemies of Allah.”

 وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ عَلِیٌّ ع أَیُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَی لَا یُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّهَ بِذَنْبِ الْخَاصَّهِ إِذَا عَمِلَتِ الْخَاصَّهُ بِالْمُنْکَرِ سِرّاً مِنْ غَیْرِ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ الْعَامَّهُ فَإِذَا عَمِلَتِ الْخَاصَّهُ بِالْمُنْکَرِ جِهَاراً فَلَمْ یُعَیِّرْ ذَلِکَ الْعَامَّهُ اسْتَوْجَبَ الْفَرِیقَانِ الْعُقُوبَهَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَی- وَ قَالَ لَا یَحْضُرَنَّ أَحَدُکُمْ رَجُلًا یَضْرِبُهُ سُلْطَانٌ جَائِرٌ ظُلْماً وَ عُدْوَاناً وَ لَا مَقْبُولًا وَ لَا مَظْلُوماً إِذَا لَمْ یَنْصُرْهُ- لِأَنَّ نُصْرَهَ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَرِیضَهٌ وَاجِبَهٌ فَإِذَا هُوَ حَضَرَهُ وَ الْعَافِیَهُ أَوْسَعُ مَا لَمْ یَلْزَمْکَ الْحُجَّهُ الْحَاضِرَهُ قَالَ وَ لَمَّا وَقَعَ التَّقْصِیرُ فِی بَنِی إِسْرَائِیلَ جَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ یَرَی أَخَاهُ عَلَی الذَّنْبِ فَیَنْهَاهُ فَلَا یَنْتَهِی فَلَا یَمْنَعُهُ مِنْ ذَلِکَ أَنْ یَکُونَ أَکِیلَهُ وَ جَلِیسَهُ وَ شَرِیبَهُ حَتَّی ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی قُلُوبَ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَ نَزَلَ فِیهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ حَیْثُ یَقُولُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- لُعِنَ الَّذِینَ کَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِی إِسْرائِیلَ عَلی لِسانِ داوُدَ وَ عِیسَی ابْنِ مَرْیَمَ ذلِکَ بِما عَصَوْا وَ کانُوا یَعْتَدُونَ. کانُوا لا یَتَناهَوْنَ عَنْ مُنکَرٍ فَعَلُوهُ إِلَی آخِرِ الْآیَهِ.

3.  Amirul Momineen (a.s.) said, “Surely Allah will not send chastisement on all because of the sins of some people until they  commit  sins  secretly  and  others  are  not  aware  of  it. However if they sin openly and are not restrained from it, everybody  will  be  deserving  of  divine  chastisement.  If  an unjust king kills someone out of oppression and enmity or does any other injustice, you should not remain over there. If you are, helping the victim becomes obligatory for you. However  there  is  no  responsibility  upon  you  until  the innocence  of  the  victim  is  proved.  People  of  Bani  Israel were careless about prohibited deeds. Once a person sinned in front of his brother who advised him not to do so but he turned a deaf ear to his words. This sin did not affect their friendship in any way. At last, Allah put the love of that sin in  their  hearts  and  these  verses  are  revealed  for  those persons: Those who disbelieved from among the children of Israel were cursed by the tongue of Dawood and Isa, son of Maryam;  this  was  because  they  disobeyed  and  used  to exceed  the  limit.  They  used  not  to  forbid  each  other  the hateful things (which) they did; certainly evil was that which they did.”46
