حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَرَرْتُ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي عَلَى قَوْمٍ تُقْرَضُ شِفَاهُهُمْ بِمَقَارِيضَ مِنْ نَارٍ. قَالَ: قُلْتُ مَنْ هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالُوا: خُطَبَاءُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا مِمَّنْ كَانُوا يَأْمُرُونَ النَّاسَ بِالْبِرِّ، وَيَنْسَوْنَ أَنْفُسَهُمْ، وَهُمْ يَتْلُونَ الْكِتَابَ، أَفَلَا يَعْقِلُونَ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: On the night of Mi'raj, I passed by some people whose mouths were being cut with scissors of fire.

Did they not understand?"
