Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘Allah repels [corruption] from those of our followers who do not pray, with those of our followers who do pray, and if they were to all agree to not pray, they would be destroyed. And verily Allah repels [corruption] from those of our followers who do not pay the alms-tax with those of our followers who do pay the alms-tax. And this is the purport of Allahs verse in the Quran: “Were it not for Allah's repelling the people by means of one another, the earth would surely have been corrupted.” [Quran 2:251]
الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إنَّ اللّهَ (لَـ)يَدفَعُ بِمَن يُصَلِّي مِن شيعَتِنا عَمَّن لا يُصَلِّي مِن شِيعَتِنا ولو أجمَعُوا على تَركِ الصلاةِ لَهَلَكُوا، وإنَّ اللّهَ لَيَدفَعُ بمَن يُزَكِّي مِن شيعَتِنا عَمَّن لايُزَكِّي ... وهو قولُ اللّهِ عَزَّ وجلَّ: «ولَولا دَفعُ اللّهِ الناسَ بَعضَهُم بِبَعضٍ لَفَسَدَتِ الأَرضُ».
