● Therefore, enjoining righteousness and performing righteousness are both required. Neither category is rendered not necessary by the practice of the other. Imam Ahmad reported that  Messenger of Allah said' *(A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and thrown in the Fire.* *His intestines will fall out and he will continue circling pulling them behind him, just as the donkey goes around the pole.* *The people of the Fire will go to that man and ask him,

What happened to you. Did you not used to command us to do righteous acts and forbid us from committing evil'* *He will say, 

Yes. I used to enjoin righteousness, but refrained from performing righteousness, and I used to forbid you to perform from evil while I myself did it*.

This Hadith was also recorded by Al-Bukhari and Muslim. Ibrahim An-Nakha

i said, "I hesitate in advising people because of three Ayat: *▪️. *(Enjoin you Al-Birr on the people and you forget (to practise it) yourselves).*
*▪️. (O you who believe! Why do you say that which you do not do*
*Most hateful it is to Allah that you say that which you do not do) (61:2-3).''* And Allah informed us that the Prophet Shu

ayb said,
*(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).*

*Let's continue on a commentary on the below verses*👇.                                      [31:13] Luqmān-لُقْمَان
"وَ اِذۡ قَالَ لُقۡمٰنُ لِابۡنِہٖ وَ ہُوَ یَعِظُہٗ یٰبُنَیَّ لَا تُشۡرِکۡ بِاللّٰہِ ؕؔ اِنَّ الشِّرۡکَ لَظُلۡمٌ  عَظِیۡمٌ ﴿۱۳﴾

And (recall) when Luqman said to his son as he was advising him: ‘O my son, do not set up partners with Allah. Verily, associating partners with Allah is a very grave injustice.’

[31:16] Luqmān-لُقْمَان
"یٰبُنَیَّ  اِنَّہَاۤ  اِنۡ تَکُ مِثۡقَالَ حَبَّۃٍ  مِّنۡ خَرۡدَلٍ فَتَکُنۡ فِیۡ صَخۡرَۃٍ  اَوۡ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ اَوۡ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ یَاۡتِ بِہَا اللّٰہُ ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ  لَطِیۡفٌ خَبِیۡرٌ ﴿۱۶﴾

(Luqman said:) ‘O my son, if there is a thing equal to the grain of a mustard seed (hidden) inside a rock or in the heavens or in the earth, (even then) Allah will bring it forth (for reckoning on the Day of Judgment). Surely, Allah is the Subtle Knower of the minutest matters, All-Aware and Most Vigilant (as well).

[31:17] Luqmān-لُقْمَان
"یٰبُنَیَّ  اَقِمِ الصَّلٰوۃَ  وَ اۡمُرۡ بِالۡمَعۡرُوۡفِ وَ انۡہَ  عَنِ الۡمُنۡکَرِ وَ اصۡبِرۡ عَلٰی مَاۤ اَصَابَکَ ؕ اِنَّ  ذٰلِکَ مِنۡ عَزۡمِ  الۡاُمُوۡرِ ﴿ۚ۱۷﴾

O my son! Establish Prayer and enjoin good and forbid evil, and patiently endure every suffering that touches you. Verily, these are matters of great courage and high resolve.             
[31:18] Luqmān-لُقْمَان
"وَ لَا تُصَعِّرۡ  خَدَّکَ  لِلنَّاسِ وَ لَا  تَمۡشِ فِی الۡاَرۡضِ مَرَحًا ؕ اِنَّ  اللّٰہَ  لَا  یُحِبُّ  کُلَّ مُخۡتَالٍ  فَخُوۡرٍ ﴿ۚ۱۸﴾

And do not turn your face away from the people (in arrogance), nor walk haughtily on earth. Surely, Allah does not love the arrogant one who walks gloatingly in self-conceit.

[31:19] Luqmān-لُقْمَان
"وَ اقۡصِدۡ فِیۡ  مَشۡیِکَ وَ اغۡضُضۡ مِنۡ صَوۡتِکَ ؕ اِنَّ  اَنۡکَرَ  الۡاَصۡوَاتِ لَصَوۡتُ الۡحَمِیۡرِ ﴿٪۱۹﴾

And adopt moderation whilst walking and keep your voice low. Surely, the worst voice is the bray of a donkey.’

In Tafsir al-Tabari, Luqman is said to have prayed in Mecca, whereupon they were told to choose something forthemselves, except immortality. Luqman wished life, but since he could not wish for immortality, he choose to live as long as seven eagles live. When the eagle died, Luqman died with him. It is also recorded he was there before Prophet Dawud received prophethood. The tafsir written by the scholar Ibn Kathir places Luqman in Nubia or Ethiopia and portrays him as a carpenter and a slave.

He states that while Luqman was a "righteous servant" of God, he was not a prophet.[1] One tale recounted in Ibn Kathir's writings involves Luqman's master ordering him to slaughter a sheep and to bring its worst parts to him. Luqman slaughtered the sheep and took its heart and tongue to his master. The master was confused upon receiving them, but Luqman stated that "There is nothing better than these if they are good, and there is nothing worse than these if they are bad", demonstrating his perception and wisdom.

Other Islamic traditions portray Luqman as an Arab poet and wise man from the people of ʿĀd who lived in Al-Ahqaf, near modern-day Yemen. A large number of stories demonstrating Luqman's sharp mind have made their way into Islamic tradition, including his attempts to gain a woman's love. Over time, a large number of proverbs have been attributed to him, rendering him a sort of Arabic Aesop figure. One saying attributed to Luqman has him crediting his success in life to "truthful speech, fulfilling the trust, and leaving what does not concern me".

A number of scholars speculate that he was a mythical figure known in pre-Islamic times, though there has been much debate about the relationship of the pre-Islamic and Islamic Luqmans. Some maintain that the two are the same person; others that they simply share the same name. Both Ibn Kathir and the Islamic historian Ibn Ishaq allude to a pre-Islamic "Book of Luqman", or "roll of Luqman", containing his wisdom, though no such work has survived, and it is unclear if the reports of its existence are true.

He was recorded to have advised his son to avoid associating partners with Allah in worship. He also cautioned him to be consious of his actions for Allah record everything. He also encourage him to observe prayer and enjoin good and forbid bad. He also warn him of arrogance for Allah hate does not love who walk on Earth gloatingly. As the debate still continue whether *Luqman* was a Prophet or not still continue, but Allah knows Best.
