Sunan Ibn Majah 4006 (Book 36, Hadith 81) #33361
Taking Action Against Wrongdoing

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that when the Children of Israel became deficient in religious commitment, they would not prevent their brothers from committing sins and Allah revealed Quran to them as a warning. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) then said that it is not enough to just tell someone not to do something wrong, but one must also take action and restrain them from doing it.

It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidah that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When the Children of Isral became deficient in religious commitment, a man would see his brother committing sin and would tell him not to do it, but the next day, what he had seen him do did not prevent him from eating or drinking with him, or mixing with him. So Allah made the hearts of those who did not commit sin like the hearts of those who did, and He revealed Qur’an concerning them and said: "Those among the Children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of David and 'Eisa, son of Maryam" until he reached: "And had they believed in Allah, and in the Prophet and in what has been revealed to him, never would they have taken them (the disbelievers) as their friends; but many of them are disobedient (to Allah)".5:78-81 The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat up and said: "No, not until they take the hand of the wrongdoer (ie restrain him and force him to follow the right way".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ ‏"‏ إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمَّا وَقَعَ فِيهِمُ النَّقْصُ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ يَرَى أَخَاهُ عَلَى الذَّنْبِ فَيَنْهَاهُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْغَدُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مَا رَأَى مِنْهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَكِيلَهُ وَشَرِيبَهُ وَخَلِيطَهُ فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَنَزَلَ فِيهِمُ الْقُرْآنُ فَقَالَ ‏{لُعِنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُدَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ}‏ حَتَّى بَلَغَ ‏{وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالنَّبِيِّ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ }‏ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ حَتَّى تَأْخُذُوا عَلَى يَدَىِ الظَّالِمِ فَتَأْطِرُوهُ عَلَى الْحَقِّ أَطْرًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، - أَمْلاَهُ عَلَىَّ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْوَضَّاحِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ـ ﷺ ـ بِمِثْلِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the importance of religious commitment and how it is necessary for believers to take action against wrongdoing. It was narrated by Abu 'Ubaidah that the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said that when the Children of Israel became deficient in religious commitment, they would see their brother committing sin but still eat or drink with him or mix with him without taking any action against his wrongdoing. As a result, Allah revealed Quran concerning them as a warning and reminded them of what David and Jesus had said about those who disbelieved in Allah's teachings. The Prophet Muhammad then sat up and said that it is not enough to just tell someone not to do something wrong; one must also take action by restraining them from doing so. This hadith teaches us the importance of taking responsibility for our actions as well as those around us by actively preventing others from engaging in wrongful behavior instead of simply telling them not to do so without taking any further steps towards stopping it.
