Translation: Allah said:

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:43)
وَأَقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَآتُوا الزَّكَاةَ وَارْكَعُوا مَعَ الرَّاكِعِينَ
( سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:43) )

Translation: " Do you enjoin piety and righteousness on people and forget (to practice it) yourselves, while you recite the Scripture (the Torah)? Have you then no sense? * " (2: 43) And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ الصَّفِّ (61:2)
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ كَبُرَ مَقْتًا عِندَ اللَّهِ أَن تَقُولُوا
( سُورَةُ الصَّفِّ (61:2) )

Translation: " O you who believe! Why do you preach what you do not practice? * (It is most hateful to Allah that you preach what you do not practice. * " (61: 2-3)

Translation: Telling us about the Messenger of Allah, Sho'ayb, who affirmed that he who preaches a certain principle should practice it himself, he Noble Koran says:

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ هُودٍ (11:88)
قَالَ
يَا قَوْمِ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّي وَرَزَقَنِي مِنْهُ رِزْقًا حَسَنًا ۚ وَمَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أُخَالِفَكُمْ إِلَىٰ مَا أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ ۚ إِنْ أُرِيدُ إِلَّا الْإِصْلَاحَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ۚ وَمَا تَوْفِيقِي إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ ۚ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْهِ أُنِيبُ
( سُورَةُ هُودٍ (11:88) )

Translation: " He (Sho'ayb) said: " O my people! Tell me if I have clear evidence from my Lord and He has given me a good sustenance from Himself (shall I corrupt it by mixing it with the unlawfully earned money). I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which I forbid you. I only desire reform to the best of my power. And my guidance cannot come except from Allah, in Him I trust and unto Him I repent. * " > (11:88)

Hadith 138: Hadith 138

۱۳۸ حديث أُسَامَةَ قِيلَ لَهُ : لَوْ أَتَيْتَ فُلَانًا فَكَلَّمْتَهُ قَالَ : إِنَّكُمْ لَتُرَوْنَ أَنِّي لَا أكَلَّمُهُ إِلَّا أَسْمِعْكُمْ إِنِّي أُكَلَّمُهُ فِي السِّرَ ، دُونَ أَنْ أَفْتَحَ بَابًا لَا أَكُونَ أَوَّلَ مِنْ فَتَحَهُ وَلَا أَقُولُ لِرَجُلٍ ، أَنْ كَانَ عَلَيَّ أَمِيرًا إِنَّهُ خَيْرُ النَّاسَ ، بَعْدَ شَيْءٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهُ ) . صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالُوا : وَمَا سَمِعْتَهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ : يُجَاءُ بِالرّجُلِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَيُلْقَى فِي النَّارِ ، فَتَندَلِقُ أَقْتَابُهُ فِي النَّارِ ، فَيَدُورُ كَمَا يَدُورُ الْحِمَارُ بِرَحَاهُ ، فَيَجْتَمِعُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ عَلَيْهِ ، فَيَقُولُونَ : أَيٌُّّ فَلَانُ مَا شَأْنُكَ أَلَيْسَ كُنتَ تَأْمُرُنَا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنْهَى عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَمُرُكُمْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَلَا آتِيهِ وَأَنْهَاكُمْ عَنِ الْمُنكَرِ وَآتِيهِ أخرجه البخاري

Translation: 138 Narrated Abu-Wa'il: ' Somebody said to Osama: " Will you go to so and-so (i.e. Othman) and talk to him (i.e. advise him regarding ruling the country)? " He said: " You see that I don't talk to him. Really I talk to (advise) him secretly without opening a gate (of affliction), for I do not want to be the first to open it (the rebellion), nor will I say to man who is my ruler that he is the best of all the people after I have heard something from Allah's Messenger. " They said: " What have you heard him saying? " He said: " I have heard him saying: ' A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in Hellfire, so that his intestines will come out, and he will go around like a donkey goes around a stone mill. The people of Hellfire will gather around him and say: " O so-and-so! What is wrong with you? Didn't you use to order us what is just and forbid us what is unjust? " He will reply: ' Yes. I used to order you what is just, but I used to not to do it, and I used to forbid you what is unjust, and I used to do it myself. " " " " (Bukhari)
