(Book 56, Hadith 23) #36878
Punishment for Open Wrongdoing

SUMMARY: The hadith explains that when a wrong action is committed openly, all those involved should be punished.

Malik related to me that Ismail ibn Abi Hakim heard Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz say, "Some say that Allah the Blessed, the Exalted, will not punish the many for the wrong action of the few. However, when the objectionable action is committed openly, then they all deserve to be punished".
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، يَقُولُ كَانَ يُقَالُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لاَ يُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّةَ بِذَنْبِ الْخَاصَّةِ وَلَكِنْ إِذَا عُمِلَ الْمُنْكَرُ جِهَارًا اسْتَحَقُّوا الْعُقُوبَةَ كُلُّهُمْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Take responsibility for one's own actions and ensure justice by punishing those who commit wrongdoings publicly .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of punishing those who commit wrong actions in public. Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz said that even if only a few people are responsible for the wrongdoing, everyone involved should be punished. This is because when an action is done openly, it affects more people and can lead to more harm than if it was done in private. Therefore, it is important to take action against such behavior so that others will not follow suit and cause further damage to society. The hadith also teaches us about accountability and justice; no one should be exempt from punishment just because they are part of a larger group or have more power than others.
