Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 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: ‘Who are these, O Gabriel?’ They said: ‘Preachers from your nation who enjoined righteousness on people but forgot themselves.’” [Narrated in Sharh as-Sunnah and by Al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Iman]
In his narration: “They said: ‘Preachers from your nation who say what they do not do and recite the Book of Allah but do not act upon it.’”
