6-14 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Hussein ibn Abil-Khat’tab, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Aslam al-Jibili who linked it up through a chain of narrators to the Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali (MGB)
“God the Almighty will punish six groups of people: 1. Arabs for racism, 2. The headmen, or chiefs of a village or town for haughtiness, 3. Rulers for oppression, 4. Jurisprudents for jealousy, 5. Businessmen for cheating, 6. Villagers for ignorance."
6-14 حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد ابن الحسن الصفار، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن محمد بن أسلم الجبلي باسناده يرفعه إلى أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام قال
إن الله عز وجل يعذب ستة بستة: العرب بالعصبية، والدهاقنة بالكبر، والامراء بالجور، والفقهاء بالحسد، والتجار بالخيانة، وأهل الرستاق بالجهل
