قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) النَّاسُ عَلَى سِتِّ فِرَقٍ يَئُولُونَ كُلُّهُمْ إِلَى ثَلَاثِ فِرَقٍ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الْكُفْرِ وَ الضَّلَالِ وَ هُمْ أَهْلُ الْوَعْدَيْنِ الَّذِينَ وَعَدَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ النَّارَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ الْكَافِرُونَ وَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفُونَ وَ الْمُرْجَوْنَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ إِمَّا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ وَ إِمَّا يَتُوبُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ الْمُعْتَرِفُونَ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صَالِحاً وَ آخَرَ سَيِّئاً وَ أَهْلُ الْأَعْرَافِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ubeyd, from Yunus, from Hammad, from Hamza Bin Al Tayyar who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The people are upon six divisions. All of these can be interpreted to be upon three divisions – the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span>, and the <span class="iTxt">Kufr</span> (disbelief), and the straying. And they are the Promised people whom Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Promised the Paradise and the Fire – the <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span>, and the Unbelivers, and the weak ones, and the hopeful ones for the Command of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, either He<sup>azwj</sup> Punishes them or He<sup>azwj</sup> Turns towards them (with Mercy), and the acknowledgers of their sins mixing the righteous deeds and the evil deeds, and the people of the Heights’.
