Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “If you realize that a scientist loves this world, accuse him regarding your religion since whoever loves something is its slave. God revealed the following to Prophet David: “Do not let a scientist who is attracted to the world act as a middle man between you and I, since he will prevent you from loving Me. Such people are the robbers of those who seek Me, and the least that I shall do is to deprive them of the sweetness of My supplication.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
إذا رأيتم العالم محبا للدنيا فاتهموه على دينكم، فإن كل محب شئ يحوط ما أحب، وقال: أوحى الله إلى داود: لا تجعل بيني وبينك عالما مفتونا بالدنيا فيصدك عن طريق محبتي، فأولئك قطاع طريق عبادي المريدين، إن أدنى ما أنا صانع بهم أن أنزع حلاوة مناجاتي من قلوبهم.
