فَأَيْنَ تَصْرِفُونَ وَ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ وَ إِلَى مَنْ...
فَأَيْنَ تَصْرِفُونَ وَ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُونَ وَ إِلَى مَنْ تَرْغَبُونَ وَ عَمَّنْ تَصْدِفُونَ عَنِ الْقَمَرِ الْبَاهِرِ وَ السِّرَاجِ الزَّاهِرِ وَ صِرَاطِ اللَّهِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ وَ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الْمُقِيمِ قَاتَلَكُمُ اللَّهُ أَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ أَ فِي الصِّدِّيقِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ الْغَرَضِ الْأَقْصَى تَرْمُونَ طَاشَتْ عُقُولُكُمْ وَ غَارَتْ حُلُومُكُمْ وَ شَاهَتْ وُجُوهُكُمْ So, where are your turning to, and where are you going, and to whom are you desiring, and whom are you avoiding from, from the brilliant moon, and the bright lamp, and the Path of Allah -azwj , the straight, and the Way of Allah -azwj , the established?
May Allah -azwj Fight you! Where are you going? Is it regarding the greatest truthful and the ultimate purpose you are shooting the recklessness of your intellects, and your hopes are drowned, and your faces are disfigured?
لَقَدْ عَلَوْتُمُ الْقُلَّةَ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ وَ بَاعَدْتُمُ الْعِلَّةَ مِنَ النَّهَلِ أَ تَسْتَهْدِفُونَ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ وَصِيَّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص لَقَدْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ خُسْرَاناً مُبِيناً فَبُعْداً وَ سُحْقاً لِلْكَفَرَةِ الظَّالِمِينَ عَدَلَ بِكُمْ عَنِ الْقَصْدِ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ عَمِيَ بِكُمْ عَنْ وَاضِحِ الْمَحَجَّةِ الْحِرْمَانُ You have been at the top of the mountain and distanced the reason from the attacking.
Are you targeting Amir Al-Momineen -asws , successor -asws of Rasool-Allah -saww ? You have enticed yourselves to clear losses. So, remoteness and perdition be for the Kafirs, the unjust. The aim of Satan la has turned with you all and had blinded you from the clear argument if the two sanctuaries.
فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ نَطَقْتَ يَا ابْنَ صُوحَانَ بِشِقْشِقَةِ بَعِيرٍ وَ هَدَرْتَ فَأَطْنَبْتَ فِي الْهَدِيرِ أَبْلِغْ صَاحِبَكَ أَنَّا مُقَاتِلُوهُ عَلَى حُكْمِ اللَّهِ وَ التَّنْزِيلِ Abdullah Bin Wahab Al-Rasy said to him, ‘O Ibn Sowhan! You are speaking with the foam of a camel, and roaring, and you are satisfied in your roar the eloquence of your companion. We are fighting him -asws upon a Judgment of Allah -azwj and the Revelation’.
