Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbaar, from Safwaan, from Yaqoub Bin Shuayb who said: Abu Abdullah (asws) said to me: ‘Who is the harshest of the people against you?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you (asws), all of them are’. He (asws) said: ‘Do you know why that is so, O Yaqoub?’ I said, ‘I do not know, may I be sacrificed for you (asws)’.

He (asws) said: ‘It is Iblees (la) who called them, so they answered him (la), and ordered them, so they obeyed him (la), and he (la) called you, so you did not answer him (la), and he (la) ordered you, so you did not obey him (la), so he (la) beckons (instigates) the people against you’. صحيح - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/340)) صحيح - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi (3 / 386))
