Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “When the following verse was revealed: “Save yourselves and your families from a Fire!” [The Holy Quran: Tahrim 66:6], a Muslim man sat down and started to cry. He said: “I am not even able to protect myself from the Fire, now I am ordered to protect my family from the Fire, too.” The Prophet of God (a.s) said
“It suffices for you to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong for them in the same way that you do it for yourself.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
لما نزلت هذه الآية ﴿قوا أنفسكم وأهليكم نارا﴾ جلس رجل من المسلمين يبكي، فقال: أنا عجزت عن نفسي كلفت أهلي، فقال له رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): حسبك أن تأمرهم بما تأمر به نفسك وتنهاهم عما تنهى عنه نفسك!.
