Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Any believer who is subservient to the ruler or any of his entourage, going against his faith in his bid to secure the worldly things that the ruler has in his grasp, Allah will reduce him to obscurity, render him odious to him [the ruler] and will relegate him to the ruler. And whatever he manages to acquire and possess of the worldly things, Allah will strip them of their benediction.
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): أيُّما مُؤمِنٍ خَضَعَ لِصاحِبِ سلطانٍ أو مَن يُخالِفُهُ على دِينِهِ طَلَباً لِما في يَدَيهِ، أخمَلَهُ اللّهُ ومَقَتَهُ علَيهِ ووَكَلَهُ إلَيهِ ، فإن هُو غَلَبَ عَلى شَيءٍ مِن دُنياهُ وصارَ في يَدِهِ مِنهُ شَيءٌ ، نَزَعَ اللّهُ البَرَكَةَ مِنهُ.
