ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ عِنْدَ ظُهُورِ مَا وَصَفْنَا لُزُومَ نَفْسِهِ وَالْإِقْبَالَ عَلَى شَأْنِهِ دُونَ الْخَوْضِ فِيمَا فِيهِ النَّاسُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "How would you be, O Abdullah bin Amr, if you were left among the riffraff of people?" Abdullah responded, "And what about them, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "That is when their promises and entrusted matters become insignificant and they become like this." And he intertwined his fingers. Abdullah asked, "So how about me, O Messenger of Allah?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You should do what you know is right, avoid what you know is wrong, focus on your personal affairs, and leave the common people."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو لَوْ بَقِيتَ فِي حُثَالَةٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ؟ » قَالَ وَذَاكَ مَا هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «ذَاكَ إِذَا مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ وَأَمَانَاتُهُمْ وَصَارُوا هَكَذَا» وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ قَالَ فَكَيْفَ بِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «تَعْمَلُ بِمَا تَعْرِفُ وَتَدَعُ مَا تُنْكِرُ وَتَعْمَلُ بِخَاصَّةِ نَفْسِكِ وَتَدَعُ عَوَامَّ النَّاسِ»
