English Translation

Hasan told us: Hammad ibn Salama told us, from Ali ibn Zayd ibn Jud'an, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: The Messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'On the night I was taken on the Night Journey, I saw men whose lips were being cut with scissors of fire. I said, "O Gabriel, who are these?" He said, "These are the preachers of your nation, who command people to righteousness and forget themselves, while they recite the Book - do they not understand?"'
