Sahih Muslim Hadith 7483 – About The One Who

English

[7483] 51 – (2989) It was narrated that it was said to Usâmah bin Zaid: "Why don't you enter upon 'Uthmãn and speak to him?" He said: "Do you think that I do not speak to him unless you are there? By Allah, I spoke to him privately, and I will not divulge something that I would not like to be the first one to divulge, and I will not say of one who may be in a position of command over me that he is the best of people, after I heard the Messenger of Allah say: 'A man will be brought on' the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the Fire; his intestines will spill forth, and he will go around them as a donkey goes around the millstone. The people of the Fire will gather around him and will say: "0 so-and-so, what is the matter with you? Did you not enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil?" He will say: "Yes, but I used to enjoin good and not do it, and I used to forbid evil and do it myself."
