مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ جَمِيعاً عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْكُوفِيِّ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ الدِّينَ دَوْلَتَيْنِ دَوْلَةً لآِدَمَ (عليه السلام) وَ دَوْلَةً لِإِبْلِيسَ فَدَوْلَةُ آدَمَ هِيَ دَوْلَةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ عَلَانِيَةً أَظْهَرَ دَوْلَةَ آدَمَ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ سِرّاً كَانَتْ دَوْلَةُ إِبْلِيسَ فَالْمُذِيعُ لِمَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ سَتْرَهُ مَارِقٌ مِنَ الدِّينِ

153. Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah, and Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, altogether from Saleh Bin Abu Hammaad, who has narrated the following: Abu Abdullah (asws) said that: ‘Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Made two governments for the Religion. The government of Adam (as) and the government of Iblees (la). The government of Adam (as) is the government of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic. So if Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Intends to be worshipped publicly, He (azwj) Makes apparent the government of Adam (as), and if He (azwj) Intends that He (azwj) should be worshipped in secret, it would be the government of Iblees (la). So the broadcaster of what Allah (azwj) has Intended to be a secret, is a renegade from the Religion’.
