قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَ هُوَ يَخْطُبُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ بِالْكُوفَةِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَوْ لَا كَرَاهِيَةُ الْغَدْرِ كُنْتُ مِنْ أَدْهَى النَّاسِ أَلَا إِنَّ لِكُلِّ غُدَرَةٍ فُجَرَةً وَ لِكُلِّ فُجَرَةٍ كُفَرَةً أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الْغَدْرَ وَ الْفُجُورَ وَ الْخِيَانَةَ فِي النَّارِ.
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from his uncle Yaqoub Bin Salim, from Abu Al Hassan Al Abady, from Sa’d Bin Tareyf, from Al Asbagh Bin Nubata who said, ‘Amir Al-<span class="iTxt">Momin</span>een<sup>asws</sup> said one day, and he<sup>asws</sup> was addressing upon the Pulpit at Al-Kufa: ‘O you people! Had it not been for my<sup>asws</sup> abhorrence of the treachery, I<sup>asws</sup> would have been the craftiest of the people. Indeed! For every treachery there is an immorality, and for every immorality there is disbelief. Indeed! And the treachery, and the immorality, and the betrayal would be in the Fire’.
