[18] Don’t take from Hypocrites pointed out by Masomeen -asws : There were habitual liars and hypocrites who held animosity against Ahl Al-Bayt -asws and frequently fabricated Ahadith, about them we find in Ahadith which tell us not to take Ahadith from them or are cursed by the Mamomeen -asws , e.g., Ibn Hilal who was cursed by the 11 th Imam-asws for interfering in the religion, i.e., fabricating Ahadith, see the Hadith below.
وَ قَالَ ع وَ قَدْ سُئِلَ عَنْ أَحَادِيثِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ رِوَايَةِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ ضِرَارِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ وَ عَبْدِ خَيْرٍ قَالا قِيلَ لَهُ مَا سَبَبُ اخْتِلَافِ النَّاسِ فِي الْحَدِيثِ And he -asws said, and he -asws had been asked about Ahadeeth of Rasool-Allah -saww – from a report by Al-Shaby, from Zirar Bin Zamrah, and Abd Khayr who both said, ‘It was said to him ‑asws , ‘What is the cause of differing of the people in the Hadeeth?’ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ أَرْبَعَةٌ مُنَافِقٌ مُظْهِرٌ لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَ قَلْبُهُ يَأْبَى الْإِيمَانَ- لَا يَتَحَرَّجُ عَنِ الْكَذِبِ كَذَبَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مُتَعَمِّداً فَلَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ حَالَهُ مَا أَخَذُوا عَنْهُ وَ لَكِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَأَخَذُوا بِقَوْلِهِ He -asws (Amr Al-Momineen -asws ) said: ‘The people are four – a hypocrite manifesting Al-Islam while his heart refuses the Eman.
He has no problems with the lying. He lies upon Rasool-Allah -saww deliberately. Had the people known his state, they would not be taking from him (the Ahadith), but they said, ‘A companion of Rasool-Allah -azwj ’, so they took his words.
وَ قَدْ أَخْبَرَ اللَّهُ عَنِ الْمُنَافِقِينَ بِمَا أَخْبَرَ وَ وَصَفَهُمْ بِمَا وَصَفَ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ عَاشُوا بَعْدَهُ فَتَقَرَّبُوا إِلَى أَئِمَّةِ الضَّلَالِ وَ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى النَّارِ بِالزُّورِ وَ الْبُهْتَانِ فَوَلَّوْهُمُ الْأَعْمَالَ وَ جَعَلُوهُمْ عَلَى رِقَابِ النَّاسِ فَأَكَلُوا بِهِمُ الدُّنْيَا وَ إِنَّمَا هُمْ تَبَعٌ لِلْمُلُوكِ إِلَّا مَنْ عَصَمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى And Allah -azwj has Informed about the hypocrites with what He -azwj Informed, and Described them with what He -azwj Described.
They lived after him and they drew closer to the straying leaders and the callers to the Fire with the falsehood and the slanders. So they made them in charge of the offices and made them upon necks of the people.
