أين يمكن إيجاد تفسير لحديث "سفينة المجتمع"؟
The one who compromises in Allah's bounds and the one who falls into them are like people who drew lots for a ship. Some of them were in its lower part and some in its upper part. The ones in the lower part drilled a hole in the ship to get water. If the others prevented them, they would all be saved. If they left them, they would all perish.
The compromiser is one who shows off, neglects rights, and does not change evil. Some narrations mention "the one who upholds Allah's bounds" instead of "the compromiser," which is more accurate. The upholder changes evil, the one who falls into it commits it, and the compromiser keeps silent about it.
Among the benefits of this hadith are: the deserving of punishment for abandoning enjoining good, the clarification of rulings through parables, the obligation of patience with a neighbor's harm if one fears something worse might occur, that the one in the lower part has no right to cause harm to the one in the upper part, and that the one in the upper part has the right to prevent them from causing harm.
