📖 Hadith No. 3267
Narrated Abu Wail: Somebody said to Usama, “Will you go to so-and-so (i.e. `Uthman) and talk to him?”
He replied:
“You think I don’t speak to him, but I speak to him privately. I do not want to open a door (of affliction) which I would be the first to open. I would not say to a man who is my ruler that he is the best of all people after I heard something from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ).”
They asked: “What did you hear him say?”
He replied:
“I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: ‘A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown into the Hellfire. His intestines will come out and he will go around like a donkey goes around a millstone. The people of Hell will gather around him and say, “O so-and-so! What happened to you? Didn’t you used to order us to do good and forbid us from evil?” He will reply, “Yes, I used to order you to do good, but I did not do it myself, and I used to forbid you from evil, but I used to do it myself.”‘”
