محمد بن عبد

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

The narrator asked Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s.) who would be the first to enter Hell. He replied: Shaitaan, and to the left and the right of him will be one person each.

“The messenger of Allah has said, ‘There are three kinds of people to whom, on the Day of Judgment, Allah will not speak or look to and will not purify them. They will suffer a painful punishment: an old man who fornicates, a tyrant king and an arrogant poor person.”

“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If a servant asks for help without actually needing help, after his death Allah makes him need that same thing and the only reward he then receives from Allah is fire.’”

Al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as) said: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will spread His mercy to the point where Iblis will hope for His mercy.

“Surely there is a mountain in Hell called Sada, which has a valley called Saqar, which has a well called Hab-hab. As soon as the lid of this well was lifted, the entire Hell was engulfed in flames. This is the abode of tyrants.”

I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say on the pulpit when he was informed that a group from Quraysh denied that he had called `Ali the Commander of the Faithful: O people! Surely, Allah sent me to you as a messenger, and He ordered me to delegate `Ali as an emir over you. Surely, for whomever I am their prophet, then `Ali is their emir. Allah has put him in charge of you, and He commanded me to inform you of that, so that you may listen to him and obey him. If he orders you to do something, then do it, and if he forbids you from something, then abstain from it. None of you should be in a position of authority over `Ali in my lifetime nor after my death, for surely, Allah has put him over you and has called him the Commander of the Faithful; none before him have been called by this name. I have informed you of what I have been sent with to you regarding `Ali, so whomever obeys me in it will have obeyed Allah, and whomever disobeys me in it will have disobeyed Allah – he will have no argument in his favour with Allah, and his end will be what Allah has described in His Book, “Whoever disobeys Allah and His Messenger and transgresses His limits, He will put him into the Fire to abide eternally therein.” (4:14)
