Commanding others what is Obligatory and to Prohibit them from doing Evil

“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘A people, who consider asking others to do good and prohibiting them from evil, a blame-worthy act, are a terribly evil people.’”

“I heard abu al-Hassan, al-Rida (a.s.), saying, ‘The Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, would say, “When my followers postpone asking others to do good and prohibit them from committing evil they, in so doing, allow affliction to befall upon them from Allah.’””
