“God with a punishment from Him.”(1)

2308 — Muhammad ibn Bashshār narrated to us, Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, from Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Khālid, similar to it.

On this topic there is also a report from ʿĀ’ishah, Umm Salamah, al-Nuʿmān ibn Bashīr, ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿUmar, and Ḥudhayfah.

Thus more than one narrator related from Ismāʿīl a report similar to that of Yazīd; some of them raised it (marfūʿan) from Ismāʿīl, and some of them left it as a statement of a Companion (mawqūfan).

‌‌9 — Chapter: What has been reported concerning commanding what is right and forbidding what is wrong

2309 — Qutaybah narrated to us, ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz ibn Muḥammad narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Abī ʿAmr, from ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī, from Ḥudhayfah ibn al-Yamān, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “By Him in Whose hand is my soul, you must command what is right and forbid what is wrong, or else God will soon send upon you a punishment from Him, and then you will call upon Him, but He will not respond to you.”(2)

2310 — ʿAlī ibn Ḥujr narrated to us, Ismāʿīl ibn Jaʿfar informed us, from ʿAmr ibn Abī ʿAmr, with this chain of transmission, similar to it.

(1) An authentic ḥadīth. It was also recorded by Abū Dāwūd (4338), Ibn Mājah (4005), and al-Nasā’ī in al-Kubrā (11157). It is in al-Musnad, no. (1), and in Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān (304). It will also appear later as no. (3309).
(2) Ḥasan (fair) due to corroborating evidence; this chain is weak because ʿAbd Allāh al-Anṣārī is unknown, and he is ʿAbd Allāh ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Ashhaliyy. It was also recorded by Aḥmad (23301); see its corroborating witnesses therein.
