3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from Aban ibn abu ‘Ayyash from Sulaym ibn Qays from Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib who has said the following:

“The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Allah has made paradise unlawful for every abusive, immoral, and (persons) lacking bashfulness who is not concerned about what he says or what is said to him. If (investigated) you find him to be an straying person or a partner of Satan.’ It was asked, O Messenger of Allah, ‘Does Satan become a partner of people?’ the Messenger of Allah said, ‘Have you not read the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, ‘ . . . share them in their properties and children. . . .’ (17:64) “The narrator has said that a man then asked a one learned in the law (the Imam), ‘Is there among the people anyone who is not concerned about what he says or what is said about him?’ The Imam said, ‘One who disturbs people and abuses them knowing that people do not leave him without a response, such a person is the one who is not concerned about what he says or what is said about him.’”
