أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ ؓ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
" مَثَلُ الْقَائِمِ عَلَى حُدُودِ اللهِ وَالْمُدْهِنِ فِيهَا، كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا عَلَى سَفِينَةٍ فِي الْبَحْرِ، فَأَصَابَ بَعْضُهُمْ أَعْلَاهَا وَبَعْضُهُمْ أَسْفَلَهَا، وَكَانَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا يَخْرُجُونَ فَيَسْتَقُونَ الْمَاءَ وَيَشُقُّونَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا، فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا: لَا نَدَعُكُمْ تَمُرُّونَ عَلَيْنَا فَتُؤْذُونَا، فَقَالَ الَّذِينَ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا: إِنْ مَنَعْتُمُونَا فَتَحْنَا بَابًا مِنْ أَسْفَلِهَا، فَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى أَيْدِيهِمْ فَمَنَعُوهُمْ، نَجَوْا جَمِيعًا، وَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُمْ هَلَكُوا جَمِيعًا

✧ The example of the one who upholds the limits of Allah and the one who compromises them is like the example of a group of people who drew lots for places on a ship at sea. Some of them got the upper deck and some got the lower deck. Those in the lower deck had to go up to get water, and they disturbed those on the upper deck. Those on the upper deck said: 'We will not let you pass by us and annoy us.' Those in the lower deck said: 'If you prevent us, we will open a hole in the bottom of the ship.' If they restrain their hands and prevent them, they will all be saved. But if they leave them, they will all perish.
