سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ مِنَ الْمَكَاسِبِ فَنَهَانِي عَنْهَا فَقَالَ يَا فُضَيْلُ وَ اللَّهِ لَضَرَرُ هَؤُلَاءِ عَلَى هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ أَشَدُّ مِنْ ضَرَرِ التُّرْكِ وَ الدَّيْلَمِ قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْوَرَعِ مِنَ النَّاسِ قَالَ الَّذِي يَتَوَرَّعُ عَنْ مَحَارِمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَجْتَنِبُ هَؤُلَاءِ وَ إِذَا لَمْ يَتَّقِ الشُّبُهَاتِ وَقَعَ فِي الْحَرَامِ وَ هُوَ لَا يَعْرِفُهُ وَ إِذَا رَأَى الْمُنْكَرَ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْهُ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُعْصَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُعْصَى اللَّهُ فَقَدْ بَارَزَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْعَدَاوَةِ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ بَقَاءَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَقَدْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُعْصَى اللَّهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى حَمِدَ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى هَلَاكِ الظَّالِمِينَ فَقَالَ فَقُطِعَ دابِرُ الْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Al Minqary, from Fuzayl Bin Iyaz who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about certain things from the earning, so he<sup>asws</sup> forbade me from these saying: ‘O Fuzayl! By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! The harm of these (ruling authorities) upon this community is more severe that the harm of the Turks and the Daylam’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And I asked about the abstention from the people. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The one who abstains from the Prohibitions of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic and keeps away from these (ruling authorities), and when he does not fear (refrain) the doubtful matters, he falls into the Prohibitions and he does not recognise it; and when he sees the evil so he does not deny it whereas he is able over it, so he loves to disobey Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic; and the one who loves to disobey Allah<sup>azwj</sup> so he has duelled against Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic with the enmity; and the one who loves the survival of the unjust ones so he has loved to disobey Allah<sup>azwj</sup>. Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Exalted has Praised Himself<sup>azwj</sup> upon the destruction of the unjust ones so He<sup>azwj</sup> Said <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:6#h45"><a href="/books/quran:6#h45">[6:45]</a></a> So the roots of the people who were unjust were cut off; and all Praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds</span>’.
