So they ate the world with them...

So they ate the world with them, and rather they are followers of the kings except the one whom Allah -azwj the Exalted Protects.

وَ رَجُلٌ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ قَوْلًا أَوْ رَآهُ يَعْمَلُ عَمَلًا ثُمَّ غَابَ عَنْهُ وَ نُسِخَ ذَلِكَ الْقَوْلُ وَ الْفِعْلُ وَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ فَلَوْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ نُسِخَ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ وَ لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ أَيْضاً أَنَّهُ نُسِخَ لَمَا نَقَلُوهُ عَنْهُ And a man heard Rasool-Allah -saww saying a word, or saw him -saww doing a deed, then he was absent from him -saww , and that word and deed were abrogated, and he did not know that what he is narrated with had been abrogated, and had the people known as well it is abrogated, they would not have transmitted (Ahadith) from him.

وَ رَجُلٌ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ قَوْلًا فَوَهِمَ فِيهِ وَ لَوْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُ وَهِمَ فِيهِ لَمَا حَدَّثَ عَنْهُ وَ- لَا عَمِلَ بِهِ And a man heard Rasool-Allah -saww saying a word, so he had delusion in it, and had the people known he had delusion in it, they would not have narrated from him nor worked with it. وَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَكْذِبْ وَ لَمْ يَغِبْ حَدَّثَ بِمَا سَمِعَ وَ عَمِلَ بِهِ And a man who did not lie but was not absent. He narrated with what he heard and acted with it.

As for the first (hypocrites who deliberately lied), there is not reliance with his report nor is it permissible to take from him (Hadith) , and as for the rest, they are conflicting to an end and are returning to an end, and (as for the later ones) they are drawing water from one well, and their speech is shining with Noor of the Prophet-hood of its illumination, and from a Blessed tree they are fetching its fire’’.

[19] An example of the deliberately lying ones: بإسناده عن ابن عمارة، عن أبيه، قال: سمعت جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام يقول: ثلاثة كانوا يكذبون على رسول اللّه صلّى اللّه عليه و آله: أبو هريرة و أنس بن مالك، و امرأة. (The book) ‘Al-Khisaal’ – By his chain from Ibn Amarah, from his father who said, ‘I heard Ja’far – asws Bin Muhammad – asws saying: ‘Three have lied upon Rasool-Allah – saww – Abu Hureyra, and Anas Bin Malik, and a woman (??????)’’.
