Commanding good and forbidding evil by Ibn Qayyim Pt.2

Hudhaifah related that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By Him in Whose hand my soul is, you must
enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil, or Allah will certainly soon send punishment
from Him to you. Then you will make supplication and not receive any answer."1
An-Nu'man Ibn Bashir related that the Prophet said, "The metaphor of a person who complies
with Allah's orders and prohibitions in comparison to those who violate them is like the metaphor of some people who drew lots for their seats in a boat. Some of them were given seats on the upper deck, and the others on the lower deck. When those on the lower deck needed water, they would have had to go up to fetch the water, so they said, 'Let us make a hole in our part of the ship and save those who are above us from our troubling them.' If the people on the upper deck let the others do what they suggested, all the people in the boat would be destroyed, but if they prevented them, both groups would be safe."2
 

Abdullah Ibn Mas'oud related that the Prophet said, "There was never a Prophet sent before
me by Allah to his nation who did not have among his people disciples and companions who followed his ways and obeyed his command. Then after them came their successors who said what they did not do, and did what they were not commanded to do. Whoever strove against them with his hand was a believer; whoever strove against them with his tongue was a believer; and whoever strove against them with his heart was a believer; and beyond that there was no faith, not even as much as a mustard seed."3
Abu Bakr related that the Prophet said, "If acts of disobedience occur among any people and
they do not change them even though they are able to do so, Allah will soon punish them
all."4
