Calling out a friend
Allah says:
Khidhr said, “Did I not tell you that you would not be able to remain patient with me?” (Al-Kahfi: 75)
And Allah also says:
The one with the clearest thinking said, “Did I not say to you, why don’t you praise your Lord?” (Al-Qalam: 28)
These are examples where a friend is reminded clearly and directly. It shows that sometimes, even good people need to be called out when they forget.
