5. The narrator of the previous Hadith through his chain of narrators has said the following
“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.’”
5- وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) بِئْسَ الْقَوْمُ قَوْمٌ يَعِيبُونَ الأمْرَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ.
