The Peak of Eloquence · Hadith 1026 (#Passage #3)

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنَّمَا يَجْمَعُ النَّاسَ الرِّضِى وَالسُّخْطُ، وَإِنَّمَا عَقَرَ نَاقَةَ ثَمُودَ رَجُلٌ وَاحِدٌ فَعَمَّهُمُ اللهُ تَعَالَى بالْعَذَابِ لَمَّا عَمُّوهُ بالرِّضَى، فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَهُ: ﴿فَعَقَرُوهَا فَأَصْبَحُوا نَادِمِينَ﴾، فَمَا كَانَ إِلاَّ أَنْ خَارَتْ أَرْضُهُمْ بِالْخَسْفَةِ خُوَارَالسِّكَّةِ الْـمُحْمَاةِ فِي الاْرْضِ الْخَوَّارَةِ.

O people, certainly, what gathers people together (in categories) is (their) agreement (to good or bad) and (their) disagreement, for only one individual killed the camel of Thamud [1] but Allah held all of them in punishment because all of them consented to it. Thus, Allah, the Glorified. has said: “Then they hamstrung her, and turned (themselves) regretful.” (Qur’ān, 26:157). Then their land declined by sinking (into the earth) as the spike of a plough pierces unploughed weak land.
