قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) فِي خُطْبَتِهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ الَّتِي تُعَجِّلُ الْفَنَاءَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْكَوَّاءِ الْيَشْكُرِيُّ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ وَ تَكُونُ ذُنُوبٌ تُعَجِّلُ الْفَنَاءَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَيْلَكَ قَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَيَجْتَمِعُونَ وَ يَتَوَاسَوْنَ وَ هُمْ فَجَرَةٌ فَيَرْزُقُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ لَيَتَفَرَّقُونَ وَ يَقْطَعُ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً فَيَحْرِمُهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ هُمْ أَتْقِيَاءُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, raising it from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said, ‘Amir Al-<span class="iTxt">Momineen</span><sup>asws</sup> said in a sermon of his<sup>asws</sup>: ‘I seek Refuge with Allah<sup>azwj</sup> from the sins which hasten the destruction’. So Abdullah Bin Al-Kawwa Al-Yashkuriy stood up to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘O Amir Al-<span class="iTxt">Momineen</span><sup>asws</sup>! And can the sins happen to hasten the destruction?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, woe be unto you, (it is the) severing of the relationships. If the people of the household are gathering and co-operating with each other, while they are immoral, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Grace them, and if the people of the household are separating and cutting off from each other, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Deprive them while they are pious’.
