The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hands is my life (Allah the Almighty), necessarily you should enjoin
virtue and check evil, or else Allah will certainly send chastisement upon you. And then you will pray but your supplications
will not be accepted.

Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4590 Narrated by
Irbad ibn Sariyah
AbdurRahman ibn Amr as-Sulami and Hujr ibn Hujr said: We came to Irbad ibn Sariyah who was among those about whom
the following verse was revealed: "Nor (is there blame) on those who come to thee to be provided with mounts, and when
thou saidst: "I can find no mounts for you." We greeted him and said: We have come to see you to give healing and obtain
benefit from you. Al-Irbad said: One day the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) led us in prayer, then faced us and gave
us a lengthy exhortation at which the eyes shed tears and the hearts were afraid. A man said: Apostle of Allah! It seems as if
it were a farewell exhortation, so what injunction do you give us? He then said: I enjoin you to fear Allah, and to hear and
obey even if it be an Abyssinian slave, for those of you who live after me will see great disagreement. You must then follow
my sunnah and that of the rightly-guided caliphs. Hold to it and stick fast to it. Avoid novelties, for every novelty is an
innovation, and every innovation is an error.
ENJOYMENT:
5:66 - If only they had stood fast by the Law the Gospel and all the revelation that was sent to them
from their Lord they would have enjoyed happiness from every side. There is from among
them a party on the right course; but many of them follow a course that is evil. 776
776 To eat (akala) is a very comprehensive word, and denotes enjoyment generally, physical, social, mental and moral,
and spiritual. "To eat what is forbidden" in verses 62 and 63 referred to taking unlawful profit, from usury or trust funds
or in other ways. Here "eating" would seem to mean receiving satisfaction or happiness in this life as well as in the life
to come. "From above them" may refer to heavenly or spiritual satifaction, and "from below their feet" to earthly
satisfaction. But it is better to take the words as a general idiom, and understand "satisfaction or happiness from every
side." (5.66)
7:19 - O Adam! dwell thou and thy wife in the garden and enjoy (its good things) as ye wish: but
approach not this tree or ye run into harm and transgression." 10031004
1003 Now the story turns to man. He was placed in the Garden of comfort and bliss, but it was Allah's Plan to give him a
limited faculty of choice. All that he was forbidden to do was to approach the Tree, but he succumbed to Satan's
suggestions. (7.19)
1004 Enjoy: literally, "eat." Cf. the meaning of ta'ama in vi, 14, n. 847 and akala in v. 66, n. 776. (7.19)
8:69 - But (now) enjoy what ye took in war lawful and good: but fear Allah: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving
Most Merciful. 1236
1236 Enjoy: literally, eat. See vii. 19. n. 1004, and v. 66, n. 776. (8.69)
20:131 - Nor strain thine eyes in longing for the things We have given for enjoyment to parties of
them the splendor of the life of this world through which We test them: but the provision of thy
Lord is better and more enduring. 2656
2656 The good things of this life make a brave show, but they are as nothing compared with the good of the Hereafter. Both
are provided by Allah. But the former are given to the just and the unjust as a test and trial, and in any case will pass
away; while the latter come specially from Allah for His devoted servants, and are incomparably of more value and will
last through eternity. (20.131)
11:3 - ("And to preach thus) `Seek ye the forgiveness of your Lord and turn to Him in repentance;
that He may grant you enjoyment good (and true) for a term appointed and bestow His
abounding grace on all who abound in merit! But if ye turn away then I fear for you the Penalty
of a Great Day: 1495
1495 The enjoyment of all good and true things in life refers, I think, to the present life with its limited term, and the
abounding Grace refers to the higher reward, which begins here but is completed in the life to come. (11.3)
13:35 - The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised! beneath it flow rivers:
perpetual is the enjoyment thereof and the shade therein: such is the End of the Righteous;
and the End of Unbelievers is the Fire. 185418551856
1854 For the comprehensive meaning of the root akala (literally "to eat"), see v. 66, n. 776. In its derived meaning it means
fruit and enjoyment of all kinds, spiritual as well as other. The joys of heaven are not like the joys of the earth, which
