Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لِأُسَامَةَ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: " يُؤْتَى بِالرَّجُلِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُطَاعُ فِي مَعَاصِي اللهِ تَعَالَى فَيُقْذَفُ فِي النَّارِ، فَتَنْدَلِقُ بِهِ أَقْتَابُهُ، فَيَسْتَدِيرُ فِيهَا كَمَا يَسْتَدِيرُ الْحِمَارُ فِي الرَّحَا، فَيَأْتِي عَلَيْهِ أَهْلُ طَاعَتِهِ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَيَقُولُونَ: أَيْ فُلَ، أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتَ تَأْمُرُنَا بِهِ؟ فَيَقُولُ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ آمُرُكُمْ بِأَمْرٍ، وَأُخَالِفُكُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ " (١)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that I also heard the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) say: On the Day of Resurrection, a man will be brought and thrown into Hell, and his intestines will come out, and he will revolve around them as a donkey revolves around a millstone. Seeing this, all the people of Hell will gather around him and say, "O so-and-so! What has happened to you? Did you not used to command us to do good and forbid us from evil?" He will reply, "I used to command you to do good, but I did not do it myself, and I used to forbid you from sins, but I used to do them myself."
