Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-1267b
" عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ فِى خُطبَتِه: أَيُّها النَّاسُ إِنما هَلَكَ مَنْ قَبْلَكُمْ بِرُكُوبِهمْ الْمَعاصِى وَلَمْ يَنْهَهُمْ الرَّبَّانِيُّونَ وَالأحْبَارُ، فَلَمَّا تَمَادَوُا فِى الْمَعَاصِى وَلَمْ يَنْهَهُمْ الرَّبَّانِيُونَ وَالأحْبَارُ أخَذَتْهُمْ العُقُوبَاتُ، فَمُروا بالمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ بِكُمْ مثلُ الَّذى نَزَلَ بهِمْ، وَاعْلمُوا أَنَّ الأمْرَ بِالْمَعْرُوف، وَالنَّهْىَ عَنِ الْمنكَرِ لاَ يَقْطَعُ رِزْقًا، وَلاَ يُقَربُ أَجَلًا".

"From Ali, who said in his sermon: O people, those before you were only destroyed by their committing sins, and the rabbis and scholars did not forbid them. When they persisted in sins and the rabbis and scholars did not forbid them, punishments seized them. So enjoin what is good and forbid what is evil before there befalls you what befell them. And know that enjoining good and forbidding evil does not cut off provision, nor bring near a term."
