Commanding others what is Obligatory and to Prohibit them from doing Evil
11- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) الأمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِ اللهِ فَمَنْ نَصَرَهُمَا أَعَزَّهُ اللهُ وَمَنْ خَذَلَهُمَا خَذَلَهُ اللهُ.
11. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn ‘Abd Allah from Ya’qub ibn Yazid in a Marfu’ manner has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘Asking people to do good and prohibiting them from committing evil are two creatures of the creatures of Allah. Those who support them, Allah gives them respect and Allah betrays those who betray these two creatures of Him . 55
