The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "On the night of my ascension, I passed by a group of people whose lips were being cut with scissors of fire."He said, "I asked, 'Who are these?'They answered, 'They are preachers from among the people of the world, those who used to command others to do good while neglecting themselves, even though they recited the Book. Did they not understand?'"
قال رسول الله ﷺ: مررت ليلة أسري بي على قوم تقرض شفاههم بمقاريض من نار. قال: قلت: من هؤلاء؟ قالوا: خطباء من أهل الدنيا ممن كانوا يأمرون الناس بالبر وينسون أنفسهم، وهم يتلون الكتاب، أفلا يعقلون.
Abu Yaala (4069) and Bayhaqi in Shuab al-Iman (4965) narrated it via Mutamir bin Sulayman, and Abu Naeem in Hilyah (1728) narrated it via Ibn Mubarak, both of them from Sulayman Taymi, from Anas. This chain is sahih.Imam Ahmad (12211) narrated it through another route from Ali bin Zayd, from Anas. Ali bin Zayd is Ibn Jadan, who is daif, but he is corroborated in the first chain.Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (53), and narrated it through another route from Anas bin Malik, mentioning the same.
