How can that be?

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? \n 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].

Is he not except from the Khwarijites?’ \n The Words of the Almighty “Surely those who disbelieve, it being alike to them whether you warn them, or do not warn them, will not believe”. \u2013 VERSE 6.
