Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘O people! Truly the onset of problems is brought about by following the desires… If the truth were pure there would be no disparity. However, a handful is taken from this [the truth] and a handful from that [falsehood] and then the two are mixed and appear altogether. And this is where Satan prevails over his followers, and only those who are favoured by Allah are saved.
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أيُّها النّاسُ ، إنّما بَدْءُ وُقوعِ الفِتَنِ أهْواءٌ تُتَّبَعُ ... ولَو أنَّ الحَقَّ خَلَصَ لَم يَكُنِ اخْتِلافٌ ، ولكنْ يُؤخَذُ مِن هذا ضِغْثٌ ومِن هذا ضِغْثٌ فيُمْزَجانِ فيَجيئانِ مَعا ، فهُنالِكَ اسْتَحْوَذَ الشّيطانُ على أوْليائِه ، ونَجا الّذينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِن اللّهِ الحُسْنى.
