They look upon this verse as sufficient guarantee for them. But may Allah shower millions of mercies on the Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum). They did not allow any part of the deen to remain incomplete. Many of the Sahabah (Radiallahu anhum) asked Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) about this verse and its meaning. In his reply to them as found in the tafseer of this verse Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied: “Continue to enjoin good works and to prevent from evil. Otherwise you will face general punishment on all.” Actually this verse alludes to that time when there is no power to prevent evil and when all doors of mischief are opened. Sayyidina Abu Bakr (Radiallahu anhu), once stood on the mimbar and recited this verse and said: “You people recite this verse out of context and inappropriately. I myself have heard Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) saying: ‘Those who see evil and do not prevent it, will very soon be facing severe punishment.” Once Sayyidina Abdullah bin Masood (Radiallahu anhu) was sitting while two persons were having an argument. One of those sitting there wanted to get up and stop them but another prevented him, reciting this verse: “Those who go astray will not harm you, if you are guided aright.” Abdillah bin Masood (Radiallahu anhu) admonished him and said: “The time for (the application of) this verse has not yet come.” (Durr Manthoor) In short, where a person has the power to stop evil, it is of the utmost necessity to do so. Now, on the other hand, where one has not the power to prevent and there is a strong possibility of trouble and the fear of definite religious harm, do not unnecessarily throw challenges. In such cases stay aloof. And if because of your staying aloof people should scold you, abuse you, revile and taunt you, then bear it all with patience. Pray for those who abuse you: “0 Allah guide my people for they know not what they do...” What a wonderful teaching of Rasulu1la (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam)! If this is not possible then too in any case keep yourself aloof from quarrels. To guard yourself instead of trying to repair (in such cases) is also a blessing. Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) said: “When you see that the agreements of men have become confused, and trusts have become to be considered lightly, and (crossing his fingers of the one hand into the Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 184
other) you see people becoming mixed like this (mixing right and wrong, good and bad, without distinguishing between them) then remain seated in your home, keep your tongue silent, choose to do permissible acts, avoid the prohibited, guard yourself and avoid the public masses of people.” Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) warned: “Very near is the time when the best possessions of a person will be a few goats which he will take to the tops of mountains and to such places where the rains will fall and where he will continue to flee to safeguard his faith from evils.” (Bukhari) Allama Amy (Rahmatullah Alayh) writes in his commentary on Sahih Bukhari that from this Hadeeth is proved the virtue of staying aloof from men at the time of mischief. But as for that person who has power and ability to prevent evil and mischief, for him it is compulsory to endeavor to prevent those evils. According to the circumstances this becomes either an obligatory duty (fard-ayn) or a public duty (fard kifayah). If there is no one else to prevent the act, it is a fard-ayn, and if there are others who can also perform this task it becomes a fard kifayah. Excluding yourself from gatherings Now if it is not a time when mischief and evil had become widespread, what is better; to lead a life of seclusion away from people or to mix freely with them? Imam Nawawi (Rahamtullah Alayh) says that according to Imam Shafi (Rahmatullah Alayh) and many other Ulema, the better of the two is to mix with people because by associationg with men, many religious benefits are derived and one has the opportunity of participating in numerous Islamic practices. By living collectively in congregation the great number of the Muslim multitude of people is illustrated. Similarly the person with free association with the crowd is able to do much good and prohibiting the bad, helping others in the spread of deeds of piety and righteousness, helping the needy, attending the congregations of the Muslims and so many other deeds. As for that person who is an Aiim or a pious righteous man, on him it is even more strongly recommended that he should freely associate with people. However there is another party among the learned who believe that in spite of all the above benefits and advantages, seclusion and staying aloof from people is better. They say that in this a person is sure to be safe from evil. But there is one condition attached to this and that is that this person applies himself diligently to the Ibaadah compulsory on him, and on condition that he be acquainted with those things which are incumbent on him. Imam Nawawi (Radiallahu anhu) says: “The most preferable view is this that only when a person has a strong presumption that he would not be involved in sin, is it better to mix and associate with people.” Al- Eti’daal Fi Maraatibur- Rijaal 185
