Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَنْبَأَنَا شَرِيكُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بَذِيمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمَّا وَقَعَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي الْمَعَاصِي نَهَتْهُمْ عُلَمَاؤُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا فَجَالَسُوهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ قَالَ يَزِيدُ أَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَأَسْوَاقِهِمْ وَوَاكَلُوهُمْ وَشَارَبُوهُمْ فَضَرَبَ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ بَعْضِهِمْ بِبَعْضٍ وَلَعَنَهُمْ عَلَى لِسَانِ دَاوُدَ وَعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ { ذَلِكَ بِمَا عَصَوْا وَكَانُوا يَعْتَدُونَ } وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ لَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ حَتَّى تَأْطُرُوهُمْ عَلَى الْحَقِّ أَطْرًا.
English Translation
Yazid told us: Sharik ibn Abdullah informed us, from Ali ibn Badhimah, from Abu Ubaydah, from Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "When the Children of Israel fell into sins, their scholars forbade them, but they did not desist; yet the scholars continued to sit with them in their gatherings" — Yazid said: I think he also said "and in their markets" — "and ate and drank with them. So Allah struck the hearts of some of them with the hearts of others, and cursed them by the tongue of David and Jesus son of Mary: {That is because they disobeyed and used to transgress}." And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was reclining, then he sat up and said, "No, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, you must enjoin what is right until you bend them firmly to the truth."
