Question

Can you confirm the source of this narration?

ما استخف قوم بحق الله عز وجل إلا بعث الله عز وجل عليهم من يستخف بحقهم

 

Answer

Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abid Dunya (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration as the statement of Sayyiduna Hudhayfah ibnul Yaman (radiyallahu ‘anhuma).

(Al ‘Uqubat: 263)

 

Translation

When people disdain/attach no importance to the rights of Allah ‘Azza Wa Jalla, Allah ‘Azza Wa Jalla will send [rulers/people] who will attach no importance to their rights.

 

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
