His Eminence said...

His Eminence said: I was told by my respected father that he had heard his father and he from his father that the Holy Prophet (S) said: Anyone who is unable to help us, Ahle Bayt, and he, sitting in loneliness, curses our enemies, Almighty Allah uplifts his voice and takes it to all the angels from underground to high heavens. Then all angels join him in cursing the one he is cursing. Then the angels praise the lover of Ahle Bayt and pray for him: O Allah!

Pour Your mercy on this man as he did whatever he could in Your path. Had he been able to do more, he would have certainly done so. At that time, a voice comes from Almighty Allah: O angels, I have answered your prayer and sent mercy on his soul and admitted him in the group of My selected servants. In addition to this, we should know that love and regard of the Imams (as) cannot be obtained except through cursing their enemies and except through being aloof from the enemies of Ahle Bayt (as).

And without any doubt, the Bani Umayyah are their enemies and what all they have not done to the Imams (as) by way of enmity? How much they have tortured them and their friends? Thus curse of the Almighty Allah be on them till the heavens and the earth endure.

📌Note: It should be noted that there are some points that we mentioned and some we did not…for example the statement of Imam (as): “And curse all the Bani Umayyah.” It shows that all Bani Umayyah are cursed without any exception, in spite of the fact that our scholars have mentioned among friends and confidantes of the Imams (as) some persons whose genealogy goes back to Bani Umayyah and without any doubt, cursing the friends of the Holy Imams (as) is haraam.

And the Almighty Allah has said: وَلَا تَزِرُ وَازِرَةٌ وِزْرَ أُخْرَىٰ And no bearer of burden shall bear the burden of another. (Qur’an, Surah Anaam 6:164) Allah, the High and the Mighty has also said: كُلُّ امْرِئٍ بِمَا كَسَبَ رَهِينٌ Every man is responsible for what he shall have wrought.

(Qur’an, Surah Tur 52:21) We can sum up and say that what is meant is that all those who are as inimical to the Imams as Bani Umayyah even though they may belong to some other tribe, they are also included in it. Since those who are similar in essence are counted as one, even though they be different in genealogy. In the same way one who is having love and regard to Amirul Momineen (as) and the Imams (as), to whichever tribe he may belong, he will be counted as a doer of good.
