323. Condemnation of Tyranny

(وَ اسْتَفْتَحُوا وَ خَابَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ) .1

"But they sought victory and decision ( there and then), and frustration was the lot of every powerful obstinate transgressor.." 2

( وَ تِلْكَ عَادٌ جَحَدُوا بَِايَتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ عَصَوْا رُسُلَهُ وَ اتَّبَعُوا أَمْرَ كُلِ‏ّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ ) .3

"Such were the " Ad" people:they rejected the Signs of their Lord and Cherisher; disobeyed His Messengers; and followed the command of every powerful, obstinate transgressor." 4

1031.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : كُلُّ جبّارٍ عَنيدٍ مَن أبى‏ أنْ‏يقولَ : لا إله إلّا اللَّهُ .5

1031.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'A recalcitrant tyrant is anyone who refuses to say: 'There is no god but Allah.' 6

1032.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : لا يَزْكو عَملُ مُتَجَبّرٍ .7

1032.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'The work of a tyrant can never be pure.' 8

1033.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام: فلا تُكَلِّموني بما تُكَلَّمُ بهِ الجَبابِرَةُ، ولا تَتَحَفَّظوا منّي بما يُتَحَفَّظُ بهِ عندَ أهلِ البادِرَةِ، ولا تُخالِطوني بالمُصانَعَةِ .9

1033.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Do not address me the way tyrants are addressed, nor should you be reluctant in my presence as it is done in the presence of the oppressors, nor should you associate with me with hypocrisy.' 10
