📖 Anas Ibn Malik RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "I saw some men on the night of my ascension, whose lips were being sheared by scissors of fire. I said: 'O Jibreel, who are these people?' Angel Jibreel said: 'Preachers from your nation who commanded people to be righteous and they forgot it themselves, yet they recited the Book. Will they not reason?'"
In another narration, the Prophet Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Preachers from your nation who said what they did not do, and who recited the Book of Allah and did not act upon it."
