عن العرس ابن عميرة الكندي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إذا عملت الخطيئة في الأرض كان من شهدها فكرهها وقال مرة: أنكرها كان كمن غاب عنها ومن غاب عنها فرضيها كان كمن شهدها (سنن أبي داود رقم 4345)
Hazrat ‘Urs bin ‘Umairah Al-Kindi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “When sin is being committed in a place, then the one who is present and is not pleased with it (in another narration, it is mentioned, “he regards it to be wrong”), he will be like the one who was not present and did not witness it (i.e. he will not be sinful as being present was not of his choice), and the one who was not present where sin was being committed, yet he was pleased with the sin (and desired to be present), he will be like the one who was present where the sin was committed (i.e. he will also be sinful).”
