English Translation

Yunus told us, Hammad - meaning Ibn Salamah - told us, from ‘Ali ibn Zayd, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "When I was taken on the Night Journey, I passed by men whose lips were being cut with scissors of fire." He said: I said, "Who are these, O Gabriel?" He said, "These are the preachers of your nation who command people to righteousness and forget themselves, while they recite the Book - do they not understand?"
