14 – Muhammad ibn al-Husayn narrated to us; he said: Abu al-Mundhir Isma‘il ibn ‘Umar narrated to us; he said: I heard Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman al-‘Umari say:
“Part of your heedlessness toward your own soul is to turn away from Allah: you witness something that angers Him and yet let it pass, neither commanding what is right nor forbidding what is wrong, out of fear of someone who can neither harm nor benefit you.”
١٤ - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْمُنْذِرِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْعُمَرِيَّ، يَقُولُ: «إِنَّ مِنْ غَفْلَتِكَ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ إِعْرَاضُكَ عَنِ اللَّهِ، بِأَنْ تَرَى مَا يُسْخِطُهُ فَتُجَاوِزَهُ، لَا تَأْمُرَ فِيهِ، وَلَا تَنْهَى، خَوْفًا مِمَّنْ لَا يَمْلِكُ لَكَ ضَرًّا وَلَا نَفْعًا»
