adab:139

Al-Hasan said, "I remember a time among the Muslims when their men would shout (to remind their families), 'O family! O family! (Look after) your orphan! Your orphan! O family! O family! (Look after) your orphan! Your poor person! Your poor person! O family! O family! (Look after) your neighbour! Your neighbour!' Time has been swift in taking the best of you while every day you become baser."  

الأدب المفرد:١٣٩نَجِيحٍ أَبُو عُمَارَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ عَهِدْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ مِنْهُمْ لَيُصْبِحُ فَيَقُولُ يَا أَهْلِيَهْ يَا أَهْلِيَهْ يَتِيمَكُمْ يَتِيمَكُمْ يَا أَهْلِيَهْ يَا أَهْلِيَهْ مِسْكِينَكُمْ مِسْكِينَكُمْ يَا أَهْلِيَهْ يَا أَهْلِيَهْ جَارَكُمْ جَارَكُمْ وَأُسْرِعَ بِخِيَارِكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَرْذُلُونَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَإِذَا شِئْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ فَاسِقًا يَتَعَمَّقُ بِثَلاَثِينَ أَلْفًا إِلَى النَّارِ مَا لَهُ قَاتَلَهُ اللَّهُ؟ بَاعَ خَلاَقَهُ مِنَ اللهِ بِثَمَنِ عَنْزٍ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ رَأَيْتَهُ مُضَيِّعًا مُرْبَدًّا فِي سَبِيلِ الشَّيْطَانِ لاَ وَاعِظَ لَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَلاَ مِنَ النَّاسِ
