أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مُطَرِّفٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ

«مَثَلُ الْمُدَاهِنِ فِي حُدُودِ اللَّهِ وَالْآمِرِ بِهَا وَالنَّاهِي عَنْهَا كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا سَفِينَةً مِنْ سُفُنِ الْبَحْرِ فَصَارَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ السَّفِينَةِ وَأَبْعَدِهِمْ مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ وَبَعْضُهُمْ فِي أَعْلَى السَّفِينَةِ فَكَانُوا إِذَا أَرَادُوا الْمَاءَ وَهُمْ فِي آخِرِ السَّفِينَةِ آذَوْا رِحَالَهُمْ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ نَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ وَأَبْعَدُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ نَخْرِقَ دَفَّةَ السَّفِينَةِ وَنَسْتَقِي فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَيْنَا عَنْهُ سَدَدْنَاهُ فَقَالَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنْهُمُ افْعَلُوا قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْفَأْسَ فَضَرَبَ عَرَضَ السَّفِينَةِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْهُمْ رُشَيْدٌ مَا تَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ نَحْنُ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ الْمِرْفَقِ وَأَبْعَدُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ نَكْسِرُ دَفَّ السَّفِينَةِ فَنَسْتَقِي فَإِذَا اسْتَغْنَيْنَا عَنْهُ سَدَدْنَاهُ فَقَالَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنَّكَ إِذًا تَهْلِكُ وَنَهْلِكُ»

✧ The parable of the one who is lenient with the limits of Allah, the one who commands them, and the one who forbids them is like a people who drew lots for a ship at sea. Some of them got the stern, farthest from the water, and some got the top. When they wanted water and were at the back of the ship, they annoyed their companions. Some of them said, 'We are closest to the water and farthest from it; let us bore a hole in the side of the ship and draw water, and when we no longer need it we will plug it.' The foolish among them said, 'Do it.' He took the axe and struck the side of the ship. A wise man among them said, 'What are you doing?' He said, 'We are closest to the water and farthest from it; we will break the side of the ship and draw water, 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.'
