“I came to Abu Tha’labah Al-Khushani and said: ‘How do you understand this Verse?’ He said: ‘Which verse?’ I said: “O you who believe! Take care of your own selves. If you follow the (right) guidance, no hurt can come to you from those who are in error.”?[5:105] He said: ‘You have asked one who knows about it. I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it and he said: “Enjoin good upon one another and forbid one another to do evil, but if you see overwhelming stinginess, desires being followed, this world being preferred (to the Hereafter), every person with an opinion feeling proud of it, and you realize that you have no power to deal with it, then you have to mind your own business and leave the common folk to their own devices. After you will come days of patience, during which patience will be like grasping a burning ember, and one who does good deeds will have a reward like that of fifty men doing the same deed.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4014)

I asked AbuTha'labah al-Khushani: What is your opinion about the verse "Care for yourselves". He said: I swear by Allah, I asked the one who was well informed about it; I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. He said: No, enjoin one another to do what is good and forbid one another to do what is evil. But when you see niggardliness being obeyed, passion being followed, worldly interests being preferred, everyone being charmed with his opinion, then care for yourself, and leave alone what people in general are doing; for ahead of you are days which will require endurance, in which showing endurance will be like grasping live coals. The one who acts rightly during that period will have the reward of fifty men who act as he does. Another version has: He said (The hearers asked:) Messenger of Allah, the reward of fifty of them? He replied: The reward of fifty of you.

"I went to Abu Tha'balah Al-Khushani and said to him: 'How do you deal with this Ayah?' He said: 'Which Ayah?' I said: 'Allah's saying: Take care of yourselves! If you follow the guidance no harm shall come to you (5:105).' He said: 'Well, by Allah! I asked one well-informed about it, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. [So] he said: "Rather, comply with (and order) the good, and stay away from (and prohibit) the evil, until you see avarice obeyed, desires followed, and the world preferred, and everyone is amazed with his view. Then you should be worried about yourself in particular, and worry of the common folk. Ahead of you are the days in which patience is like holding onto an ember, for the doer (of righteous deeds) during them is the like of the reward of fifty of those who do the like of what you do." 'Abdullah bin Al-Mubarak said: "It was added for me, by other than 'Utbah, that it was said: 'O Messenger of Allah! The reward of fifty men among us, or them?' He said: 'No! Rather the reward of fifty men among you.'"

I replied, "His saying, 'O you who have believed, upon you is [responsibility for] yourselves. Those who have gone astray will not harm you when you have been guided'." He said, "By Allah, you have asked about something knowledgeable. I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it and he said, 'Rather, enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong. And when you see greed being obeyed, desires being followed, worldly gains being preferred, and everyone is pleased with their own opinion, then you should focus on yourself in particular and ignore the common people's affairs. For behind you, there will come days of patience, where the patient one will be like the one holding onto burning coals. In that time, the reward of fifty men will be obtained by the worker.'" And without a doubt, 'Utbah ibn Abu Hakim increased me (i.e., added another narration). It was said, "O Messenger of Allah, will the reward of fifty men be for us or for them?" He replied, "No, rather the reward of fifty men will be for you."

"يَا أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ: مُروا بِالمَعْرُوفِ، وَتَنَاهَوْا عَنِ المُنكَرِ، فإذَا رأيتَ شُحّا مطاعًا، وهوًى مُتَّبعًا، ودنيا مؤثرةً، ورأيتَ أمرًا لا بُدَّ لك من طَلَبه، فعَليكَ نفسَك، ودَعْهُمْ وَعَوَامَّهمْ، فإِن وراءَكُمْ أَيَامَ الصبر، صبرٌ فيهن عَلَى الجمرِ، للعامِل فيهن أجرُ خمسين يعملُ مثلَ عَمله".
