Those which lead to Disobedience: عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْمِنْقَرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ مَعْمَرِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سُئِلَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَمَلٍ بَعْدَ مَعْرِفَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَعْرِفَةِ رَسُولِهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَفْضَلَ مِنْ بُغْضِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ لِذَلِكَ لَشُعَباً كَثِيرَةً وَ لِلْمَعَاصِي شُعَبٌ Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ali Bin Muhammad, altogether from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Al Minqary, from Abdul Razzaq Bin Hammam, from Moamar Bin Rashid, from Al Zuhry Muhammad Bin Muslim Bin Ubeydullah who said, ‘Ali -asws Bin Al-Husayn -asws was asked, ‘Which of the deeds is superior in the Presence of Allah -azwj ?’ He -asws said: ‘There is no deed, after the recognition of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic and recognition of His -azwj Rasool -saww more superior than hatred of the world.
There are many branches for that, and for the disobedience, there is one branch ’. فَأَوَّلُ مَا عُصِيَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْكِبْرُ مَعْصِيَةُ إِبْلِيسَ حِينَ أَبَى وَ اسْتَكْبَرَ وَ كَانَ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ So, the first of what Allah -azwj was disobeyed with was the arrogance , being a disobedience of Iblees -la , where he -la refused (to prostrate) and was arrogant, and he -la was from the disbelievers’.
ثُمَّ الْحِرْصُ وَ هِيَ مَعْصِيَةُ آدَمَ وَ حَوَّاءَ ( عليهما السلام ) حِينَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُمَا فَكُلا مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتُما وَ لا تَقْرَبا هذِهِ الشَّجَرَةَ فَتَكُونا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَأَخَذَا مَا لَا حَاجَةَ بِهِمَا إِلَيْهِ فَدَخَلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِهِمَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَكْثَرَ مَا يَطْلُبُ ابْنُ آدَمَ مَا لَا حَاجَةَ بِهِ إِلَيْهِ Then (it was) the greed, and it is the disobedience of Adam -as and Hawwa -as [7:19] so eat from wherever you desire, but do not go near this tree, for then you will be of the unjust .
So, they -as both took what there was no need to it for them both. Thus, that entered into their -as offspring up to the Day of Judgement, and that is that most of what the son of Adam -as seeks is what there is no need to it for him.
