The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When the Children of Israil fell into disobedience, their scholars forbade them, but they did not desist. So the scholars sat with them in their gatherings, ate with them, and drank with them. Then Allah set the hearts of some of them against others and cursed them 'upon the tongue of Dawud and Isa, son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and were transgressing' [Maidah 5:78]."Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, who had been reclining, sat up and said, "No, by the One in whose hand is my soul, not until you compel them to follow the truth firmly."Abdullah bin Abdul-Rahman said that Yazid said that Sufyan Thawri did not include "from Abdullah" in his version of this report.
حدثنا عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن أخبرنا يزيد بن هارون أخبرنا شريك عن علي بن بذيمة عن أبي عبيدة
قال رسول الله ﷺ لما وقعت بنو إسرائيل في المعاصي نهتهم علماؤهم فلم ينتهوا فجالسوهم في مجالسهم وواكلوهم وشاربوهم فضرب الله قلوب بعضهم ببعض ولعنهم {على لسان داود وعيسى ابن مريم ذلك بما عصوا وكانوا يعتدون} قال فجلس رسول الله ﷺ وكان متكئا فقال لا والذي نفسي بيده حتى تأطروهم على الحق أطرا قال عبد الله بن عبد الرحمن قال يزيد وكان سفيان الثوري لا يقول فيه عن عبد الله
