Abu Bakr As-Siddeeq said, “O
people, you recite this verse and use it in the wrong place:
عَلَيْكُمْ أَنْفُسَكُمْ لاَ يَضُرُّكُمْ
مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ
‘Upon you is to take care of your
own selves, he who goes astray cannot harm you when you are rightly-guided’
(5:105)
We heard the Messenger (ﷺ)
say, ‘When the people see a wrongdoer and they do not prevent
him then Allāh will soon punish them all.'”
(Abu Dāwūd 4338 Sahīh by
Al-Albāni)
