It was said to Usama, "If only you would go to so-and-so and speak with him."He replied, "You think that I do not speak to him unless I let you hear it. I do speak with him in private, without opening a door that I would not want to be the first to open. Nor will I say of a man, even if he were appointed as a ruler over me, that he is the best of people, after something I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ."They asked, "And what did you hear him say?"He said, "I heard him say, 'On the Day of Resurrection, a man will be brought and cast into the Fire, and his intestines will spill out into the Fire, and he will go round and round like a donkey turning a millstone. The people of the Fire will gather around him and say, So-and-so, what is wrong with you? Did you not used to command us to do good and forbid us from evil? He will reply, I used to command you to do good but did not do it myself, and I used to forbid you from evil while doing it myself.'"Ghundar narrated it from Shuba from Amash.
حدثنا علي حدثنا سفيان عن الأعمش
قيل لأسامة لو أتيت فلانا فكلمته قال إنكم لترون أني لا أكلمه إلا أسمعكم إني أكلمه في السر دون أن أفتح بابا لا أكون أول من فتحه ولا أقول لرجل أن كان علي أميرا إنه خير الناس بعد شيء سمعته من رسول الله ﷺ قالوا وما سمعته يقول قال سمعته يقول يجاء بالرجل يوم القيامة فيلقى في النار فتندلق أقتابه في النار فيدور كما يدور الحمار برحاه فيجتمع أهل النار عليه فيقولون أي فلان ما شأنك أليس كنت تأمرنا بالمعروف وتنهانا عن المنكر قال كنت آمركم بالمعروف ولا آتيه وأنهاكم عن المنكر وآتيه رواه غندر عن شعبة عن الأعمش
