66 – Hārūn ibn ʿAbd Allāh narrated to me; he said: Maʿn ibn ʿĪsā reported to us; he said: Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, from Ismāʿīl ibn Abī Ḥakīm, who informed him that he heard ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz say:
“It used to be said: Allah does not punish the general populace for the sin of the elite; however, once evil is committed openly, they all become deserving of punishment.”
٦٦ - حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي حَكِيمٍ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عُمَرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، يَقُولُ: " كَانَ يُقَالُ: إِنَّ اللَّهِ لَا يُعَذِّبُ الْعَامَّةَ بِذَنْبِ الْخَاصَّةِ، وَلَكِنْ إِذَا عُمِلَ الْمُنْكَرُ جِهَارًا، اسْتَحَقُّوا الْعُقُوبَةَ كُلُّهُمْ "
