Shaykh Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb al-Kulaynī · Commanding others what is Obligatory and to Prohibit them from doing Evil
14- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا فَسَدَتْ نِسَاؤُكُمْ وَفَسَقَ شَبَابُكُمْ وَلَمْ تَأْمُرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَمْ تَنْهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَشَرٌّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا أَمَرْتُمْ بِالْمُنْكَرِ وَنَهَيْتُمْ عَنِ الْمَعْرُوفِ فَقِيلَ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَيَكُونُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَشَرٌّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الْمَعْرُوفَ مُنْكَراً وَالْمُنْكَرَ مَعْرُوفاً.
14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Harun ibn Muslim from Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘The Holy Prophet, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, has said, “What will you do when your women will become corrupt, your young people sinful and you will not ask others to do good and prohibit them to commit evil?” They asked, “Will such things happen, O Messenger of Allah?” He, the Messenger of Allah, replied, “Yes, even worse than this will happen. What will you do when you ask others to commit evil and prohibit them from doing good?” It then was asked, “Will such things happen, O Messenger of Allah?” He, the Messenger of Allah, replied, “Yes, even worse than this will happen. What will you do when you see good things as bad and evil things as good?”’”
