O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do?

A man went to Ibn ‘Abbas radiAllaahu ‘anhu and said, “O Ibn ‘Abbas, I want to enjoin people to do good and forbid them from doing evil.” Ibn ‘Abbas said, “And have you reached that level?” He said, “I hope that that is so.” He said, “If you do not fear to be exposed by three verses of Allah’s Book, then do so.” The man asked, “And what are they?” He mentioned this verse:

Enjoin you Al-Birr (piety and righteousness and each and every act of obedience to Allâh) on the people and you forget (to practise it) yourselves.” (Baqarah 2:44)

And then asked, “Have you applied the implications of this verse?” He said, “No.” Ibn ‘Abbas then mentioned the second verse:

O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do? Most hateful it is with Allâh that you say that which you do not do. (As-Saff 61:2-3)

After that he asked, “Have you applied the implications of this verse?” He said, “No.” He then mentioned the third verse regarding Shu’aibalayhi salaam:

“I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you.” (Hud 11:88)

And then he asked, “Have you applied the implications of this verse? He said, “No.” Ibn ‘Abbas said, “Then begin with yourself.”

Women to Forbid the Evil Upon A Man She Meets in the Street?

Question: Is it permissible for a woman to forbid the evil upon a man when she is in the street? Answer: If there are no men found forbidding the evil then she does so, she says "fear Allaah O muslim and leave this off" and she is veiled and modest, because Allaah most high says

"The believers, men and women, are Auliyaa (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another; they enjoin (on the people) Al-Ma'roof (i.e. Islaamic Monotheism and all that Islaam orders one to do), and forbid (people) from Al-Munkar (i.e. polytheism and disbelief of all kinds, and all that Islaam has forbidden."

{Soorah (9) Ayah(71)}.

So the believing men and believing women both of them enjoin the good and forbid the evil, so if there is no one found forbidding that evil then she forbids it upon him while she is modest and she intends by that, the face of Allah Azza wa Jal , by the permission of Allah she has enjoined the good and forbade the evil. I fear from some women that they will take from this ayah and other than it and they will go out veiled and give lectures and seminars and mix with the men under the pretext of forbidding the evil! So this is not permissible and they ascend the pulpit in the masjid and forbid the evil! Like how this female devil did in America. [Shaykh Rabee` bin Haadee al Madkhaalee]

[rabeealmadkhali]

“If you see a person upon the truth and another upon falsehood, it is obligatory for you to support the truth and warn against falsehood - otherwise you are lifeless. You don't affirm what is good, and you don't forbid the evil - and that is a clear sign of regressing and deteriorating hearts”

Sheikh Rabee' bin Haadee [Majmoo' 14/271]

[ibnbaaz]

It is obligatory to advise and encourage each other with the truth, helping each other towards righteousness and taqwaa and to avoid what is harmful.

Ibn Baaz [Encouraging what is right: Examples from suratul 'Asr]

"Peace be upon you, O Khaleefah of the messenger of Allaah"

Maimoon ibn Maihraan reported that a man approached a group of people who were gathered together. Saying nothing to anyone else, the man turned to one particular attendee of the gathering-Abu Bakr- and said, "Peace be upon you, O Khaleefah of the messenger of Allaah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)." Abu Bakr appraoched the man for singling him out and for not extending greeting of peace to anyone else, Abu Bakr said, "Me only, and what about everyone else who is here!"
