98 – Hārūn related to us; he said: Sayyār related to us; he said: Jaʿfar related to us; he said: Abū Kaʿb al-Azdī related to us; he said: I heard al-Ḥasan say: “If you are someone who enjoins what is right, then be among those who adhere to it most firmly, or else you will perish. And if you are someone who forbids what is wrong, then be among those who refrain from it most strictly, or else you will perish.”
٩٨ - حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَيَّارٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَعْبٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ، يَقُولُ: «إِذَا كُنْتَ مِمَّنْ يَأْمُرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ فَكُنْ مِنْ آخِذِ النَّاسِ بِهِ وَإِلَّا هَلَكْتَ، وَإِذَا كُنْتَ مِمَّنْ يَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ فَكُنْ مِنْ أَتْرَكِ النَّاسِ لَهُ وَإِلَّا هَلَكْتَ»
