According to Usama b. Zayd (ra), he heard the Messenger of Allah (saw) say, “A man will be brought on Resurrection Day and thrown into Hell Fire and his intestines will pour forth in Hell and he will go round along with them, as an ass goes round the mill stone. The denizens of Hell will gather round him and say: ‘O, so and so, what has happened to you? Were you not enjoining us to do good and forbid wrong?’ He will say, ‘Of course, it is so; I used to enjoin (people) to do good but I did not practice that myself. I used to forbid people to do wrong, but I practiced it myself.’” (Muslim, al-Zuhd, 51)
