Abi Basir narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) said the following regarding God's statement
“They take their priests and their anchorites to be their Lords in derogation of God.” [The Holy Quran: Tauba 9:31], “I swear by God that they did not pray or fast for them, but they turned the lawful into forbidden, and the forbidden into lawful, and followed it.”
عن أبي بصير قال
قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): في قول الله عز وجل: ﴿اتخذوا أحبارهم ورهبانهم أربابا من دون الله﴾ فقال: والله ما صاموا ولا صلوا ولكنهم أحلوا لهم حراما وحرموا عليهم حلالا فاتبعوه.
