كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) أَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ إِنَّ الْمُنافِقِينَ يُخادِعُونَ اللَّهَ وَ هُوَ خادِعُهُمْ وَ إِذا قامُوا إِلَى الصَّلاةِ قامُوا كُسالى يُراؤُنَ النَّاسَ وَ لا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مُذَبْذَبِينَ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ لا إِلى هؤُلاءِ وَ لا إِلى هؤُلاءِ وَ مَنْ يُضْلِلِ اللَّهُ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ سَبِيلًا لَيْسُوا مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ وَ لَيْسُوا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ لَيْسُوا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُظْهِرُونَ الْإِيمَانَ وَ يَصِيرُونَ إِلَى الْكُفْرِ وَ التَّكْذِيبِ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Al Husayn Bin Is’haq, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed and Al Husayn Bin Saeed, altogether from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> asking him<sup>asws</sup> a question. So he<sup>asws</sup> wrote to me: <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:4#h142"><a href="/books/quran:4#h142">[4:142]</a></a> Surely the hypocrites strive to deceive Allah, and He shall Requite their deceit back to them, and when they stand up for the Prayer they stand up sluggishly; they do it only to be seen of men and do not remember Allah except for a little <a href="/#/books/quran:4#h143"><a href="/books/quran:4#h143">[4:143]</a></a> Wavering between that (and this), (belonging) neither to these nor to those; and whomsoever Allah Causes to err, you shall not find a way for him</span>. They are neither from the Unbelievers (<span class="iTxt">Kafir</span>) nor from the <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span>, and they are not from the Muslims. They are displaying the <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> and they are becoming to the <span class="iTxt">Kufr</span> (disbelief) and (with) the lies. May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Curse them’.
