Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَخْبَرَنَا شَرِيكٌ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَعْمَلُونَ بِالْمَعَاصِي وَفِيهِمْ رَجُلٌ أَعَزُّ مِنْهُمْ وَأَمْنَعُ لَا يُغَيِّرُونَ إِلَّا عَمَّهُمْ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِعِقَابٍ أَوْ قَالَ أَصَابَهُمْ الْعِقَابُ.
English Translation
Hajjaj ibn Muhammad told us: Sharik informed us, from Abu Ishaq, from al-Mundhir ibn Jarir, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "There is no people among whom acts of disobedience are committed, while among them is a man more powerful and able to prevent it than them, who do not change it, except that Allah, Mighty and Majestic, encompasses them all with punishment" - or he said, "punishment befalls them."
