إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ الدِّينَ دَوْلَتَيْنِ دَوْلَةَ آدَمَ وَ هِيَ دَوْلَةُ اللَّهِ وَ دَوْلَةَ إِبْلِيسَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ عَلَانِيَةً كَانَتْ دَوْلَةُ آدَمَ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي السِّرِّ كَانَتْ دَوْلَةُ إِبْلِيسَ وَ الْمُذِيعُ لِمَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ سَتْرَهُ مَارِقٌ مِنَ الدِّينِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad, from Salih Bin Abu Hammad, from a man from the Kufians, from Abu Khalid Al Kublay, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Made the Religion as two nations – a nation of Adam<sup>as</sup>, and it is the Nation of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and a government of Iblees<sup>la</sup>. So whenever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Wants to be worshipped publicly, it would be a nation of Adam<sup>as</sup>, and whenever Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Wants to be worshipped in private, it would be a nation of Iblees<sup>la</sup>, and the publiciser of what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Wants to be a secret is out of the limits and sanctuary of Religion’.
