“It was said: ‘O
Messenger
of Allah, when should we stop enjoining what is good and
forbidding
what is evil?’ He said: ‘When there appears among you
that which
appeared among those who came before you.’ We said: ‘O
Messenger of
Allah, what appeared among those that came before us?’
He said:
‘Kingship given to your youth, immorality even among the
old, and
knowledge among the base and vile.’”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 90

“I came to Abu
Tha’labah Al-Khushani and said: ‘How do you understand this
Verse?’ He
said: ‘Which verse?’ I said: “O you who believe!
Take care of your own
selves. If you follow the (right) guidance, no
hurt can come to you
from those who are in error.”? He said:
‘You have asked one who
knows about it. I asked the Messenger of
Allah (ﷺ) about it and he
said: “Enjoin good upon one another and
forbid one another to do evil,
but if you see overwhelming
stinginess, desires being followed, this
world being preferred (to
the Hereafter), every person with an opinion
feeling proud of it, and
you realize that you have no power to deal
with it, then you have to
mind your own business and leave the common
folk to their own
devices. After you will come days of patience,
during which patience
will be like grasping a burning ember, and one
who does good deeds
will have a reward like that of fifty men doing
the same deed.”
