أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ
«الْمُدَاهِنُ فِي حُدُودِ اللَّهِ وَالرَّاكِبُ حُدُودَ اللَّهِ وَالْآمِرُ بِهَا وَالنَّاهِي عَنْهَا كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا فِي سَفِينَةٍ مِنْ سُفُنِ الْبَحْرِ فَأَصَابَ أَحَدُهُمْ مُؤَخَّرَ السَّفِينَةِ وَأَبْعَدَهَا مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ وَكَانُوا سُفَهَاءَ وَكَانُوا إِذَا أَتَوْا عَلَى رِجَالِ الْقَوْمِ آذَوْهُمْ فَقَالُوا نَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ أَهْلِ السَّفِينَةِ مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ وَأَبْعَدُهُمْ مِنَ الْمَاءِ فَتَعَالَوْا نَخْرِقْ دَفَّ السَّفِينَةِ ثُمَّ نَرُدَّهُ إِذَا اسْتَغْنَيْنَا عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَنْ نَاوَأَهُ مِنَ السُّفَهَاءِ افْعَلْ فَأَهْوَى إِلَى فَأْسٍ لِيَضْرِبَ بِهَا أَرْضَ السَّفِينَةِ فَأَشْرَفَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ رُشَيْدٌ فَقَالَ مَا تَصْنَعُ؟ فَقَالَ نَحْنُ أَقْرَبُكُمْ مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ وَأَبْعَدُكُمْ مِنْهُ أَخْرِقُ دَفَّ السَّفِينَةِ فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَيْنَا عَنْهُ سَدَدْنَاهُ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ فَعَلْتَ تَهْلِكُ وَنَهْلِكُ»

✧ The one who is lenient with the limits of Allah, the one who transgresses the limits of Allah, the one who commands them, and the one who forbids them are like a people who drew lots for places on a ship at sea. One of them got the stern, the farthest from the water, and they were foolish. When they passed by the men of the people, they annoyed them. They said, 'We are the closest people on the ship to the water and the farthest from the water; come, let us bore a hole in the side of the ship, then we will repair it when we no longer need it.' The foolish among those who opposed him said, 'Do it.' He reached for an axe to strike the bottom of the ship. A wise man looked at him and said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'We are the closest to the water and the farthest from it; I will bore a hole in the side of the ship, and when we no longer need it, we will plug it.' He said, 'Do not do it, for if you do, you will perish and we will perish.'
