۞
170. Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibrahim Bin Uqba, from Sayaabat Bin Ayyoub, and Muhammad Bin Al-Waleed, and Ali Bin Asbaat with an unbroken chain going up to Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) having said that
Amir-ul-Momineen (asws) said that: ‘Allah (azwj) will Punish six (types of people) for six (matters) – the Arabs for the prejudice, and the landlords for the arrogance, and the rulers for the tyranny, and the jurists for the jealousy, and the merchants for the fraud, and the villagers for the ignorance’.
سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَيَابَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ يَرْفَعُونَهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ السِّتَّةَ بِالسِّتَّةِ الْعَرَبَ بِالْعَصَبِيَّةِ وَ الدَّهَاقِينَ بِالْكِبْرِ وَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بِالْجَوْرِ وَ الْفُقَهَاءَ بِالْحَسَدِ وَ التُّجَّارَ بِالْخِيَانَةِ وَ أَهْلَ الرَّسَاتِيقِ بِالْجَهْلِ.
