Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “When the following verse was revealed: “O' ye who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire!” [The Holy Quran: Tahrim 66:6], a Muslim man sat down and started to cry. He said: “I am not even able to protect myself from the Fire, now I am ordered to protect my family from the Fire, too.” The Prophet of God (a.s) said
“It suffices for you to enjoin the right and forbid the wrong for them in the same way that you do it for yourself.”
وقال الصادق (عليه السلام) لما نزلت هذه الآية: ﴿يا أيها الذين آمنوا قوا أنفسكم وأهليكم نارا﴾: جلس رجل من المسلمين يبكي، وقال: أنا قد عجزت عن نفسي كلفت أهلي، فقال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): حسبك أن تأمرهم بما تأمر به نفسك وتنهاهم عما تنهى عنه نفسك!.
