“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
say:
‘Allah will question His slave on the Day of Resurrection,
until He
says: “What kept you from denouncing evil when you saw
it?” When Allah
grants His slave a response, he will say: “O
Lord, I hoped for Your
mercy but I feared the people.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 36, Hadith 92
