أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ بْنِ رِفَاعَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي نُعَيْمُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ الشَّعْبِيَّ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ ؓ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
" إِنَّ مَثَلَ الْمُدْهِنِ فِي أَمْرِ اللهِ كَمَثَلِ رَهْطٍ رَكِبُوا سَفِينَةً فَاقْتَرَعُوا فِيهَا الْمَنَازِلَ، فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَسْفَلَهَا، وَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَعْلَاهَا، فَأَرَادَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ هُوَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا أَنْ يَخْرِقَهَا، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ مَنْ فِي أَعْلَاهَا: مَا تَصْنَعُ ؟ قَالَ: أَخْرِقُهَا فَأَسْتَقِي مِنْهَا فَيَكُونُ أَهْوَنُ عَلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَصْعَدَ إِلَيْكُمْ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " فَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُ غَرِقَ وَغَرَّقَهُمْ، وَإِنْ مَنَعُوهُ نَجَا بِإِذْنِ اللهِ وَنَجَوْا

✧ "Verily, the likeness of the one who turns a blind eye in matters of God is like a group of people who boarded a ship and cast lots for their places, and some got the lower part and some got the upper part. A man among those in the lower part wanted to make a hole in it, so some of those in the upper part said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'I will make a hole in it and draw water from it, and that will be easier for me than going up to you.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'If they leave him, he will drown and drown them, and if they stop him, he will be saved by God's permission and they will be saved.'"
