عبد الله

One who helps an unjust against his victim, the Almighty Allah will be enraged upon him till the time he stops helping him.”

Whoever plants animosity will reap what he has sown.’”

To see the enemy plunge in the acts of disobedience to Allah is a sufficient victory that Allah bestows upon the servant.

“One who is inimical of we. Ahle Bayt (a.s.) is not a Nasibi because there is no such unfortunate person in this world who says that he is inimical and hateful to Muhammad and his progeny. Rather, Nasibi is one who has enmity with you because he knows that you love us and are our Shias.”

Hasan bin Ali, peace be upon them both, was asked about the intellect. He said: To gulp a lump, and to flatter with the enemies.

From the servant of Allāh, ‘Alī Amīr al-mu’minīn to Mu‘āwiyah son of Abū Sufyān :

21. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) says that a believer can surely intercede for his friend except a nasibi because even if all the prophets, messengers and honored angels intercede for a nasibi, their intercession will not be accepted.

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “God has made His friends subject to being attacked by His enemies.”

1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “There is no man that taunts or insults a believer but that he will die the worst death desiring to return to this world to do good.”

Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) narrates that Nuh (a.s.) took even dogs and pigs with him on the Ark but he did not take the illegitimate born; and the enemies of Ahle Bayt (a.s.) are even worse than illegitimate-borns.

“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Jibril (Gabriel) never came to me without advice and guidance. The last advice that he brought was: “Beware of engaging in disputations against men; it reveals the defects and eliminates one’s high regard.’”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Clean and fresh clothes saddens the enemy, using oil dispels despair and combing the head removes al-Waba’.’ I then asked, ‘What is al-Waba’?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘It is fever. Combing the beard strengthens molar teeth.’”

He has waged a war against Me that insults My believing servant. And he is safe from My anger that respects My believing servant.”

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).”

“This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about the case of al-Nasib (one hostile to ‘A’immah) who is well known for his hostility; if we can give a believing woman in marriage to him. He (the guardian of the believing woman) is capable to disprove his (Nasib’s) belief but he (Nasib) is not able to prove himself right. He (the Imam) said, ‘A believing man must not marry a Nasibah and a believing woman must not be given in marriage to him and a believing woman must not marry a man of weak understanding.’”

For a believer, it is enough of a victory from Allah to see his enemy disobeying Allah.

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Just seeing one's enemies engaged in committing sins is enough of a Divine Help for any believer.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “If you want to be among my believing brothers and companions, you must prepare yourselves for the people's hatred and animosity. Otherwise you are not amongst my companions.”

Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “Subduing one's anger during times when the enemies are in power is considered to be a form of concealing faith. It protects the one who conceals his faith, and keeps him safe from trouble in life.”

“Guard (yourself) against engaging in disputes; it causes losses and reveals defects.”
