“What will become
of you when you do not enjoin the right and forbid
the wrong?” he asked.
(Those around him asked in amazement,) “Will that
truly happen?”
“Yes, and even worse!” he replied, and went on to
ask, “What will become of you when you enjoin wrong
and forbid what is good?”
Those around him were astonished: “O Prophet! Will
that also happen?”
“Yes, and even worse!” he replied, and continued:
“What will become of you when you regard good as evil
and evil as good?” The people around him asked, “O
Prophet! Will that also come to pass?”
“Yes, it will,” he replied. (Ibn Abi Ya'la, Musnad
and al-Tabarani, al-Awsat)
