Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from al-Barqi from ibn Sinan or others in a marfu‘ manner from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following. “Our Hadith (statements) are difficult and they become difficult.

Whoever would dislike us and would not deliver our rights to us they will live in fire forever.” ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (4/317)) يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi)
