Insulting a Believer Expels One From Wilāyat

Insulting a Believer Expels One From Wilāyat
 

Hazrat Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said:

“If a person slanders a believer to expose his faults to the public, or to insult him, Allah expels him from His Wilāyat and leaves him to the Wilāyat of Satan.”

(al-Kāfi)

 “Like the Satan when he says to man: Disbelieve, but when he disbelieves, he says: I am surely clear of you; surely I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds.”

(Surah al-Hashr 59:16)

 Notes:

[3] ‘Disobedience’ as mentioned by the infallible Imam (a.s.) is not to be equated with disobedience as we understand. For details refer to the introduction to Psalms of Islam translated by William Chittick
