هل هو إلا كمن قدم مسيلمة على محمد في النبوة والفضل؟ ماهو إلا من الذين قال الله تعالى: ” قل هل ننبئكم بالاخرين أعمالا الذين ضل سعيهم في الحياة الدنيا وهم يحسبون أنهم يحسنون صنعا ” (هل هو إلا من اخوان) أهل حرورا؟ قوله عزوجل: ” ان الذين كفروا سواء عليهم ءأنذرتهم أم لم تنذرهم لا يؤمنون “: The Holy Imam Hassan Al-Askari -asws said: ‘A man went to Amir-ul-Momineen -asws and said: ‘O Amir-ul-Momineen -asws !

I saw Bilal -ra having a discussion with someone today and Bilal -ra was making mistakes in his speech and the other man who was an Arab was laughing at Bilal -ra over the mistakes in his speech.’ Amir-ul-Momineen -asws said: ‘O servant of Allah -azwj ! You only need the strength of speech for the strength of the deeds. What benefit will that person get for the strength in his speech when his deeds are bad and ugly?

And what loss will Bilal -ra have due to the lack of his power of expression when his deeds are strong and he is of good stature and is polite?’ The man said: O Amir-ul-Momineen -asws !

How can that be?’ He -asws said: ‘It is sufficient for Bilal -ra in the strength of his deeds and politeness that he does not see anyone as equivalent of Muhammad the Messenger of Allah -saww and then does not see anyone after him -saww to be the equivalent of Ali -asws Bin Abi Talib -asws , and he sees all those that are the enemies of Ali -asws to be the enemies of Allah -azwj and His Messenger -saww , and the obedience of Ali -asws to be the obedience of Allah -azwj and His Messenger -saww .

It is sufficient for that person’s deeds and the correct expressions in his speech of Arabic and the strength of his tongue, that is he gives preference to his back over his chest, his backside over his face and (similarly) in sweetness, vinegar over honey, and considers ‘ Hanzal ‘ [4] to be tastier than milk. He steps over the Guardian of Allah -azwj to the enemy of Allah -azwj and does not relate anything of his -asws virtues and characteristics.

In this act of his, is he not like the one who gives preference to Musaylama the liar over Muhammad -saww in the matter of Prophethood? He is like the one for whom Allah -azwj has Said “Say: Shall We inform you of the greatest losers in (their) deeds? (These are) they whose labour is lost in this world’s life and they think that they are well versed in skill of the work of hands. [18:103 & 4].
