Al-Khisal: Imam 'Ali, peace be upon him, said: Sedition is three things: the love of women, which is Satan's sword; wine-drinking, which is Satan's snare; and the love of money, which is Satan's arrow. Whoever loves women gains no profit from life. Whoever loves wine, Paradise is forbidden him. Whoever loves gold and silver is a slave of this world.

«5»- وَ قَالَ قَالَ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ عليه السلام الدِّينَارُ دَاءُ الدِّينِ وَ الْعَالِمُ طَبِيبُ الدِّينِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الطَّبِيبَ يَجُرُّ الدَّاءَ إِلَى نَفْسِهِ فَاتَّهِمُوهُ وَ اعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ نَاصِحٍ لِغَيْرِهِ.

Jesus son of Mary said: Gold is the disease of religion, and the scholar is the physician of religion. When you see the physician making himself sick, be wary of him and know that he does not counsel others.

«6»- ل، الخصال أَبِي عَنِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ هَارُونَ عَنِ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عليهم السلام أَنَّ عَلِيّاً عليه السلام قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي جَهَنَّمَ رَحًى تَطْحَنُ أَ فَلَا تَسْأَلُونِّي مَا طِحْنُهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَ مَا طِحْنُهَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ الْعُلَمَاءُ الْفَجَرَةُ وَ الْقُرَّاءُ الْفَسَقَةُ وَ الْجَبَابِرَةُ الظَّلَمَةُ وَ الْوُزَرَاءُ الْخَوَنَةُ وَ الْعُرَفَاءُ الْكَذِبَةُ وَ إِنَّ فِي النَّارِ لَمَدِينَةً يُقَالُ لَهَا الْحَصِينَةُ أَ فَلَا تَسْأَلُونِّي مَا فِيهَا فَقِيلَ وَ مَا فِيهَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ فِيهَا أَيْدِي النَّاكِثِينَ.

Al-Khisal: Imam 'Ali, peace be upon him, said: In Hell there is a mill that grinds. Will you not ask me what it grinds? It was said: O Commander of the Faithful, what does it grind? He said: Evil-doing scholars, corrupt reciters, oppressive tyrants, treacherous ministers, and lying officials. And truly within the Fire there is a city called "Hasina". Will you not ask me what is in it? It was said: O Commander of the Faithful, what is in it? He said: The hands of those who break their pledge.

ثو، ثواب الأعمال ماجيلويه عن عمه عن هارون مثله بيان قال الجزري العرفاء جمع عريف و هو القيم بأمور القبيلة أو الجماعة من الناس يلي أمورهم و يتعرف الأمير منه أحوالهم فعيل بمعنى فاعل و النكث نقض العهد و البيعة.

Thawab al-A'mal: Harun related the like of the hadith above. Al-Jazari says: "al-'urafa" is the plural of "'arif", one who is in charge of a tribe's affairs, or of a group of people who undertake the administration of the tribe, and from whom the commander inquires about the tribe's circumstances. "'Arif", on the pattern of "fa'il", means the active participle, that is "'arif" (one who knows). "Al-nakth" means breaking a covenant and a pledge of allegiance.

'Ilal al-Shara'i': Hafs b. Ghiyath related from Abu 'Abd Allah, peace be upon him, that he said: Whenever you see a scholar who is a lover of this world, suspect him in matters of religion, for every lover is encompassed by what he loves.

«8»- وَ قَالَ: أَوْحَی اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى دَاوُدَ عليه السلام لَا تَجْعَلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ عَالِماً مَفْتُوناً بِالدُّنْيَا فَيَصُدَّكَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ مَحَبَّتِي فَإِنَّ أُولَئِكَ قُطَّاعُ طَرِيقِ عِبَادِيَ الْمُرِيدِينَ إِنَّ أَدْنَى مَا أَنَا صَانِعٌ بِهِمْ أَنْ أَنْزِعَ حَلَاوَةَ مُنَاجَاتِي مِنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ.

Hafs b. Ghiyath relates from Abu 'Abd Allah, peace be upon him, that he said: God, mighty and exalted, revealed to the prophet David, peace be upon him: Do not place between Me and yourself a scholar beguiled by this world, for he will bar you from the path of My love; such persons are highwaymen against My servants, and the least thing I do to them is to take from their hearts the sweetness of communing with Me.
