102 - أئِمَّةُ النّارِ
102. Leaders to the Fire
(وَجَعَلْناهُمْ أَئِمَّةً يَدْعُونَ إِلَى النّارِ) .1
"We made them leaders who invite to the Fire." 2
323.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام : إنّ شَرَّ النّاسِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إمامٌ جائرٌ ضَلَّ وضُلَّ بِهِ ، فأماتَ سُنَّةً مأخُوذَةً وأحيا بِدْعةً مَتْروكَةً ، وإنّي سَمِعْتُ رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله يقولُ : يُؤتى يومَ القِيامَةِ بالإمامِ الجائرِ ولَيسَ مَعَهُ نَصيرٌ ولا عاذِرٌ ، فيُلقى في نارِ جَهَنَّمَ ، فَيَدُورُ فيها كما تَدورُ الرَّحى ، ثُمَّ يُرْتَبَطُ في قَعْرِها .3
323.Imam Ali (AS) said, 'Certainly the worst of people before Allah is the oppressive leader who himself has gone astray and misleads others. He destroys the prophetic practice and revives abandoned innovations. I have heard the Messenger of Allah (SAWA) saying, 'On the Day of Resurrection the oppressive leader will be brought without any helper or anyone to advance excuses on his behalf, and then he will be thrown into the Fire of Hell, where he will turn as the hand-mill turns, then he will be confined to its depth.' 4
