1520.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : أيُّها النّاسُ ، إنّما بَدْءُ وُقوعِ الفِتَنِ أهْواءٌ تُتَّبَعُ ... ولَو أنَّ الحَقَّ خَلَصَ لَم يَكُنِ اخْتِلافٌ ، ولكنْ يُؤخَذُ مِن هذا ضِغْثٌ ومِن هذا ضِغْثٌ فيُمْزَجانِ فيَجيئانِ مَعاً ، فهُنالِكَ اسْتَحْوَذَ الشّيطانُ على‏ أوْليائِه ، ونَجا الّذينَ سَبَقَتْ لَهُم مِن اللَّهِ الحُسْنى‏ .³

1520.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'O people! Truly the onset of problems is brought about by following the desires... If the truth were pure there would be no disparity. However, a handful is taken from this [the truth] and a handful from that [falsehood] and then the two are mixed and appear altogether. And this is where Satan prevails over his followers, and only those who are favoured by Allah are saved.' ⁴

1521.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - مِن خُطبةٍ لَهُ يَصِفُ فيها المُنافِقينَ - : فَهُم لُمَةُ الشَّيطانِ ، وحُمَةُ النِّيرانِ ، اُولئكَ حِزبُ الشَّيطانِ ، ألَا إنَّ حِزبَ الشَّيطانِ هُمُ الخاسِرونَ .⁵

1521.Imam Ali (AS) said in one of his sermons where he describes the hypocrites, 'They are the companions of Satan, and the incinerating sting of the Fire. They are the party of Satan; indeed it is Satan's parties who are the losers.' ⁶
