1 Ḥadīth

سَهْلٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَلْيَحْذَرِ الَّذِينَ يُخالِفُونَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ أَنْ تُصِيبَهُمْ فِتْنَةٌ أَوْ يُصِيبَهُمْ عَذابٌ أَلِيمٌ قَالَ فِتْنَةٌ فِي دِينِهِ أَوْ جِرَاحَةٌ لَا يَأْجُرُهُ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا.


281. Sahl, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Hameed, from yunus, from Abdul A’ala who said: I asked Abu Abdullah (a.s) about the Statement of Allah (azwj): “[24:63] therefore let those beware who go against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befall them a painful chastisement”. Imam (a.s) said: (it’s) ‘فِتْنَةٌ’ Strife in His (azwj) Religion or oppression for which Allah (azwj) does not Reward’.
