Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 2 56: We Should Not Sit In The Assembly Where Disrespect Is Caused To Imam (As) The believer is obliged to keep aloof from the gatherings of deviated people where ridicule is directed towards Imam (as) or where he is being criticized. Where people raise objections against him and deny his existence, or even if they are ignoring his remembrance.

(Qur’an, Surah Nisa 4:140) In Tafseer Ali bin Ibrahim Qummi it is mentioned that he said: Signs of Allah, are the Holy Imams (as).[^1] According to a traditional report of Al-Kafi, Imam (as) was asked regarding the following Qur’anic verse: And indeed He has revealed to you in the Book that when you hear Allah’s communications disbelieved in and mocked at… He (as) said, “When we learn that such and such person denies the truth and utters unsuitable things about Imam (as), we must get up from there at once, no matter who that person is.”[^2] In the same book, in a correct report from His Eminence, it is mentioned that he said: One who believes in Allah and the Judgment Day does not sit at a place where an Imam is being criticized or a believer is being degraded.[^3] In the same book, it is narrated from, His Eminence (aj) that he said: There are three types of gatherings that Allah hates and sends His chastisement to their participants; so you should never attend these gatherings: One: It is a gathering in which one decides to lie about his verdicts.

Second: In which the remembrance of the enemies is refreshed and our remembrance is forgotten; and (thirdly) a gathering in which there is refusal to follow us, while you know that such a thing is there in that gathering.
