وَ إِنَّمَا أَتَاكَ بِالْحَدِيثِ أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَامِسٌ...
وَ إِنَّمَا أَتَاكَ بِالْحَدِيثِ أَرْبَعَةُ رِجَالٍ لَيْسَ لَهُمْ خَامِسٌ: رَجُلٌ مُنَافِقٌ مُظْهِرٌ لِلْإِيمَانِ مُتَصَنِّعٌ بِالْإِسْلَامِ، لَا يَتَأَثَّمُ وَ لَا يَتَحَرَّجُ فِي أَنْ يَكْذِبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ مُتَعَمِّداً And rather four (types of) men have come to you with the Hadeeth, there isn’t any fight for them – a hypocrite man, manifesting the Eman and posing as being with Al-Islam.
Neither does he consider it a sin nor does he have any embarrassment in lying upon Allah -azwj and upon Rasool-Allah -saww deliberately.
فَلَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ كَاذِبٌ لَمْ يَقْبَلُوا مِنْهُ وَ لَمْ يُصَدِّقُوا قَوْلَهُ، وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا: «صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ رَآهُ وَ سَمِعَ مِنْهُ وَ لَقِفَ عَنْهُ» وَ يَأْخُذُونَ [فَيَأْخُذُونَ «خ»] بِقَوْلِهِ وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَكَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِمَا أَخْبَرَكَ وَ وَصَفَهُمْ بِمَا وَصَفَهُمْ بِهِ لَكَ If the people come to know that he is a hypocrite, they would not accept from him and would not ratify his words, but they said, ‘He is a companion of Rasool-Allah -saww , and he has seen him -saww and heard from him -saww and caught it from him -saww .
So, they are taking with his words, although Allah -azwj has Informed you about the hypocrites with what He -azwj has Informed, and Described them with what He -azwj had Described them with to you.
ثُمَّ بَقُوا بَعْدَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فَتَقَرَّبُوا إِلَى أَئِمَّةِ الضَّلَالَةِ، وَ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى النَّارِ بِالزُّورِ وَ الْبُهْتَانِ، فَوَلَّوْهُمُ الْأَعْمَالَ وَ جَعَلُوهُمْ حُكَّاماً عَلَى رِقَابِ النَّاسِ، وَ أَكَلُوا بِهِمُ الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ مَعَ الْمُلُوكِ وَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ.
فَهَذَا أَحَدُ الْأَرْبَعَةِ Then they remained alive after him -saww and they drew near to the leaders of straying and the callers to the Fire with the falsities and the accusations. So, they (rulers) made them the office bearers and made them decision-makers upon the necks of the people, and they devoured the world through them, and rather the people tend to be with the kings and the world except the one whom Allah -azwj Fortifies. So, this is the first of the four.
