What you saw happened because of the position of my desire...
What you saw happened because of the position of my desire, even though the truth was with him.’’ [10] وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فَأَيُّ قَضِيَّةٍ أَعْدَلُ مِنَ الْقُرْعَةِ إِذَا فُوِّضَ الْأَمْرُ إِلَى اللَّهِ لِقَوْلِهِ- فَساهَمَ فَكانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ And it is reported from Abu Abdullah -asws having said: ‘Which judgment can be more just than drawing of the lots when the matter is delegated to Allah -azwj due to His -azwj Words: So he drew lots with them and he was the one to be thrown off [37:141] .’ [11] An Aide of a Government will be Punished in the Hell: الأمالي للصدوق فِي خَبَرِ الْمَنَاهِي أَنَّهُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَنْ تَوَلَّى خُصُومَةَ ظَالِمٍ أَوْ أَعَانَ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ نَزَلَ بِهِ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ قَالَ لَهُ أَبْشِرْ بِلَعْنَةِ اللَّهِ وَ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ (The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – In a Hadeeth of the prohibitions, the Prophet -saww said: ‘One who takes charge of a dispute of an unjust one, or assists upon it, then the Angel of death descends to him, will say to him: ‘Receive news of the Curse of Allah -azwj and Fire of Hell, and the evil destination!’’ وَ قَالَ مَنْ دَلَّ جَائِراً عَلَى جَوْرٍ كَانَ قَرِينَ هَامَانَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ And the one who points (guides/assists) a tyrant upon tyranny would be paired with Haman -la in Hell.’ [12] It is forbidden to help a believer and accept a gift: عيون أخبار الرضا عليه السلام بِالْأَسَانِيدِ الثَّلَاثَةِ عَنِ الرِّضَا عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- أَكَّالُونَ لِلسُّحْتِ قَالَ هُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَقْضِي لِأَخِيهِ الْحَاجَةَ ثُمَّ يَقْبَلُ هَدِيَّتَهُ (The book) ‘Uyoun Akhbar Al-Reza -asws ,’ may the greeting be upon him -asws , by the three chains from Al-Reza -asws , from his -asws forefathers -asws , from Ali -asws regarding Words of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic: devouring the ill-gotten gains [5:42] .
He -asws said: ‘He is the man who fulfils the need for his brother, then he accepts a gift.’ [13] Do not Judge over people as a lord: يَا عِيسَى انْظُرْ فِي عَمَلِكَ نَظَرَ الْعَبْدِ الْمُذْنِبِ الْخَاطِئِ وَ لَا تَنْظُرْ فِي عَمَلِ غَيْرِكَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الرَّبِّ كُنْ فِيهَا زَاهِداً وَ لَا تَرْغَبْ فِيهَا فَتَعْطَبَ (Allah -azwj said) ‘O Isa -as !
Look into your -as affairs with a consideration of the sinful servant, the erroneous one, and do not look into the affairs of the other with the position of the Lord -azwj .
