94. We were told by Abu’l-Hasan, that he said: We were told by Ali bin Ahmad al-Tabari, that he said: We were told by Abu Sa’eed, that he said: We were told by Khirash, that he said: We were told by my master, Anas bin Malik, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, said: If Allah, Exalted is He, removes modesty from a servant, he becomes abhorrent and detested. He then removes faith from him, then removes mercy from him, then pulls off the religion of Islam out of his neck, and he becomes a cursed devil. It means that the performance of a horrid act after another horrid act ends with devilry, and the one who becomes a devil (in challenge) against Allah, is cursed by Allah.
