Sunan Ibn Majah - سنن ابن ماجه
36. Tribulations - كتاب الفتن
It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said:
“No one of you should belittle himself.” They said: “O
Messenger
of Allah, how could anyone of us belittle himself?” He
said: “If he
sees something concerning which he should speak out
for the sake of
Allah but does not say anything. Allah will say to
him on the Day of
Resurrection: “What prevented you from speaking
concerning such and
such?” He will say: “Fear of the people.”
(Allah) will say: “Rather
you should have feared Me.”
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، وَأَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْبَخْتَرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لاَ يَحْقِرْ أَحَدُكُمْ نَفْسَهُ " . قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ يَحْقِرُ أَحَدُنَا نَفْسَهُ قَالَ " يَرَى أَمْرًا لِلَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِيهِ مَقَالٌ ثُمَّ لاَ يَقُولُ فِيهِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَقُولَ فِي كَذَا وَكَذَا فَيَقُولُ خَشْيَةُ النَّاسِ . فَيَقُولُ فَإِيَّاىَ كُنْتَ أَحَقَّ أَنْ تَخْشَى " .
