3. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “The enemy of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) is an example of that verse that: Laboring, toiling. Entering into burning fire (of Hell).”

Muḥammad b. al-Ḥusayn narrated to me through a chain of his which he omitted, he said that the Messenger of God (s) said, "Never shall one who persisted in drinking alcohol enter the Garden; nor one constantly given to intoxication; nor one disobedient to their parents; nor one excessively black; nor a wittol; nor a policeman - meaning a patrolman; nor a hermaphrodite - meaning one of both sexes; nor a graverobber - meaning a tomb raider; nor a tithe-taker; nor one who severs family relations; nor a libertarian rejector of Divine Pre-Destiny." The compiler of this book - may God have mercy on him - comments on this tradition: By "one excessively black", the tradition is referring to someone who has not one white hair on his head or beard, despite his old age. Such a man is called in Arabic "al-Gharbīb".

“One who recites Surah Hadid and Mujadila in obligatory prayers regularly, Allah will not involve him in chastisement till his death. He and his family will not face any difficulty and his body will remain proper and flawless.”

“One who threatens a believer by saying that the latter will be harmed by the king. If the believer is not harmed, the person will go to Hell and if the believer is harmed, the person will be sent to Hell along with Firon and his progeny.”

“On the Day of Judgment Allah will join those who practice racial discrimination with a race in fire.”

I heard al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) say: Whoever meets the people with a face but has another face when he is away from them, he will come on the Day of Resurrection with two tongues of fire.

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘I swear by Allah, Khilafat (leadership after the Holy Prophet) will never return to the family of abu Bakr and ‘Umar. It will never return to descendents of ‘Umayyah, and never to the children of Talhah and al-Zubayr. It is because they abandoned the Holy Quran, cancelled the noble traditions, and suspended the laws. The Messenger of Allah has said, “The Holy Quran is guidance against straying, clarification against blindness, stability against wavering, light against darkness, brightness in incidents, protection against destruction, intelligence against temptation, clear statement against mischief, and completion (of aim) in the world to the hereafter. In it there is your perfect religion. Whoever deviates from the Holy Quran is headed to the fire.’”

“Once I was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), in al-Hirah (a city in Iraq) when the messenger of abu Ja‘far al-Mansur, the caliph came to call him. He (the Imam) asked for a raincoat, one side black and the other side white, and abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘I wear it but I know that it is the dress of the people of fire.”” (Black was the emblem of al-‘Abbaside rulers. Imam wore it due to Taqiyah (caution because of fear)

I asked, ‘Who would that refer to?’ the Imam (MGB) replied, ‘That refers to anyone who takes even a penny of a believer’s money for himself or deprives him of worldly things.’ I said, ‘I seek refuge in God from God’s Wrath!’ Then the Imam (MGB) added, ‘Indeed the Blessed the Sublime God has sworn by Himself not to house any of the following three groups in Paradise: those who reject God’s judgement; those who reject the judgement of a righteous Divine Leader, and those who disregard a believer’s rights.’ I asked, ‘Should one give a believer what he has a lot more of than his own needs?’ The Imam (MGB) replied, ‘One should not hesitate to do anything for him. Should he hesitate to give him his own self and soul, he is not of his brethren. Rather he would be of the progeny of Satan.’”The compiler of the book - may God increase his acknowledgement - said, “What is meant here by not hesitating to give from one’s self and soul is to assist him whenever he needs any assistance and to help him to fulfill his needs.”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Taking an oath sinfully is that which subjects one to the fire whereby a man holds back the right of a Muslim by seizing his assets.”’
