When People will regard Evil as Good and Good as Evil…
When people will regard evil as good and good as evil…
وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه؛ قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: «” كيف بكم أيها الناس إذا طغى نساؤكم وفسق فتيانكم؟ ! “. قالوا: يا رسول الله! إن هذا لكائن؟ قال: “نعم، وأشد منه. كيف بكم إذا تركتم الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر؟ ! “. قالوا: يا رسول الله! إن هذا لكائن؟ قال: “نعم، وأشد منه. كيف بكم إذا رأيتم المنكر معروفًا، والمعروف منكرًا؟ !»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu’anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) said:
‘O People! How [bad] would be your condition when your women will rebel and your youth will begin to sin?’
The Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhu) said: ‘Will this [ever] happen, O Messenger of Allah?’
Nabi (sallallahu’alayhi wasallam) replied: ‘Yes, and even worse [is to happen]. How [bad] will be your condition when you will abandon enjoining good and forbidding wrong?’
The Sahabah (radiyallahu’anhu) said: ‘Will this [ever] happen, O Messenger of Allah?’
Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wasallam) replied: ‘Yes, and even worse [is to happen]. How [bad] will your condition be when you will consider vice as virtue and [you will consider] virtue as vice?’
(Musnad Abi Ya’la, Hadith: 6389 and Al-Mu’jamul Awsat of Tabarani, Hadith: 9321)
