۞
Imam Ali (AS), condemning Iblis [Satan], said, ‘So he felt proud of his own creation over Adam s, and was racist against him because of his origin. The enemy of Allah, therefore, is the leader of all racist bigots, and the forefather of all those who consider themselves superior, who laid the very foundation of bigotry, and tried to wrest the cloak of might from Allah, and assumed the garb of exultation having shed the veil of self-abasement.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ في ذَمِّ إبليسَ ـ: فافتَخَرَ عَلى آدَمَ بِخَلقِهِ ، وتَعَصَّبَ عَلَيهِ لأِصلِهِ ، فعَدُوُّ اللّهِ إمامُ المُتَعَصِّبينَ ، وسَلَفُ المُستَكبِرينَ ، الّذي وَضَعَ أساسَ العَصَبِيَّةِ ، ونازَعَ اللّهَ رِداءَ الجَبريَّةِ ، وادَّرَعَ لِباسَ التَّعَزُّزِ ، وخَلَعَ قِناعَ التَّذَلُّلِ.
