قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أُصُولُ الْكُفْرِ ثَلَاثَةٌ الْحِرْصُ وَ الِاسْتِكْبَارُ وَ الْحَسَدُ فَأَمَّا الْحِرْصُ فَإِنَّ آدَمَ ( عليه السلام ) حِينَ نُهِيَ عَنِ الشَّجَرَةِ حَمَلَهُ الْحِرْصُ عَلَى أَنْ أَكَلَ مِنْهَا وَ أَمَّا الِاسْتِكْبَارُ فَإِبْلِيسُ حَيْثُ أُمِرَ بِالسُّجُودِ لآِدَمَ فَأَبَى وَ أَمَّا الْحَسَدُ فَابْنَا آدَمَ حَيْثُ قَتَلَ أَحَدُهُمَا صَاحِبَهُ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from Bakr Bin Muhammad, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The origins of the disbelief are three – the greed, and the arrogance, and the envy. So, as for the greed, so when Adam<sup>as</sup> was Forbidden from the tree, the greed carried him<sup>as</sup> upon eating from it; and as for the arrogance, so when Iblees<sup>la</sup> was Commanded with the prostration to Adam<sup>as</sup>, he<sup>la</sup> refused; and as for the envy, so when the two sons of Adam<sup>as</sup>, one of the two killed his companion’.
