سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع يَقُولُ لَتَأْمُرُنَّ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ لَتَنْهُنَّ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ أَوْ لَيُسْتَعْمَلَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ شِرَارُكُمْ فَيَدْعُو خِيَارُكُمْ فَلَا يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ.

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn ‘Umar ibn ‘Arafah who has said the following: “I heard abu al-Hassan (a.s.), saying, ‘You must ask (command) others to do good and prohibit them to commit evil, otherwise, the evil ones among you will be made your rulers and then the virtuous ones among you pray and their prayers will not be answered.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
