وَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَيُوَسْوِسُ لِلرَّجُلِ وَ يُنَاجِيهِ...

وَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَيُوَسْوِسُ لِلرَّجُلِ وَ يُنَاجِيهِ وَ يَقُولُ نَاظِرِ النَّاسَ فِي الدِّينِ كَيْلَا يَظُنُّوا بِكَ الْعَجْزَ وَ الْجَهْلَ And the Satan -la casts uncertainty to the man and whispers to him and is saying, ‘Quarrel with the people regarding the Religion’, perhaps he -la is thinking you are frustrated and ignorant.

ثُمَّ الْمِرَاءُ لَا يَخْلُو مِنْ أَرْبَعَةِ أَوْجُهٍ إِمَّا أَنْ تَتَمَارَى أَنْتَ وَ صَاحِبُكَ فِيمَا تَعْلَمَانِ فَقَدْ تَرَكْتُمَا بِذَلِكَ النَّصِيحَةَ وَ طَلَبْتُمَا الْفَضِيحَةَ وَ أَضَعْتُمَا ذَلِكَ الْعِلْمَ أَوْ تَجْهَلَانِهِ فَأَظْهَرْتُمَا جَهْلًا وَ خَاصَمْتُمَا جَهْلًا أَوْ تَعْلَمُهُ أَنْتَ فَظَلَمْتَ صَاحِبَكَ بِطَلَبِكَ عَثْرَتَهُ أَوْ يَعْلَمُهُ صَاحِبُكَ فَتَرَكْتَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ لَمْ تُنْزِلْهُ مَنْزِلَتَهُ وَ هَذَا كُلُّهُ مُحَالٌ Then the bitter arguments are not empty from four aspects – Either if you and your companion dispute regarding you both know, so both of you have neglected the advice and are seeking the scandal and place that knowledge, or you are both ignorant so you are both manifesting ignorance and are quarrelling ignorantly, or you know it and you are being unjust to your companion for your seeking his faults, or your companions knows, so you have neglected his sanctity and do not place him at his status.

And all this is absurd. فَمَنْ أَنْصَفَ وَ قَبِلَ الْحَقَّ وَ تَرَكَ الْمُمَارَاةَ فَقَدْ أَوْثَقَ إِيمَانَهُ وَ أَحْسَنَ صُحْبَةَ دِينِهِ وَ صَانَ عَقْلَهُ‏ So, one who is (upon) Just and accepts the truth and neglects the disputing, so he has affirmed his Eman, and improved the company of his Religion, and safeguarded his intellect.
