لِلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ ما ذا قالَ آنِفاً أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ قالَ إِنَّكَ لا تُسْمِعُ الْمَوْتى وَ لا تُسْمِعُ الصُّمَّ الدُّعاءَ إِذا وَلَّوْا مُدْبِرِينَ وَ ما أَنْتَ بِهادِي الْعُمْيِ عَنْ ضَلالَتِهِمْ الْآيَةَ.

"But when they go out from your presence, they say to those who have been given knowledge: What did he say just now? Those are the ones upon whose hearts God has set a seal." And He said: "For truly you cannot make the dead hear, nor can you make the deaf hear the call when they turn away in flight. Nor are you a guide to the blind out of their error. You can make none hear save those who believe in Our signs and are submissive."

«61»- كِتَابُ الْمُثَنَّى بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام يَقُولُ لَا يُخَاصِمُ إِلَّا شَاكٌّ فِي دِينِهِ أَوْ مَنْ لَا وَرَعَ لَهُ.

Kitab al-Muthanna b. al-Walid: Abu Basir says: Imam al-Baqir, peace be upon him, used to say: None is contentious save one who doubts his religion, or one who is without God-fearing.

باب 18 ذم إنكار الحق و الإعراض عنه و الطعن على أهله

Chapter 18: The censure of denying the truth, turning away from it, and reviling its people

الآيات؛

The verses

البقرة: «ثُمَّ تَوَلَّيْتُمْ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِنْكُمْ وَ أَنْتُمْ مُعْرِضُونَ»(82)

al-Baqara: "And when We took a firm covenant from the Children of Israel: Worship none but God, and do good to parents and kinsfolk, to orphans and the needy; speak kindly to people, establish prayer and give the alms — then, save a few of you, you all turned away in aversion."

الأنعام: «فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَّبَ بِآياتِ اللَّهِ وَ صَدَفَ عَنْها سَنَجْزِي الَّذِينَ يَصْدِفُونَ عَنْ آياتِنا سُوءَ الْعَذابِ بِما كانُوا يَصْدِفُونَ»(157)

al-An'am: "Or lest you say: Had the Book been sent down to us, we would surely have been better guided than they. Now there has come to you a clear proof from your Lord, and a guidance and a mercy. So who is a greater wrongdoer than one who denies the signs of God and turns away from them? Soon We shall requite those who turn away from Our signs with a severe punishment for [this very] turning away."

يونس: «فَما ذا بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلالُ فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ»(32)

"Such is God, your true Lord; and what is there after truth but error? So how are you turned away [from the truth]?"

الرعد: «وَ لَئِنِ اتَّبَعْتَ أَهْواءَهُمْ بَعْدَ ما جاءَكَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ ما لَكَ مِنَ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلِيٍّ وَ لا واقٍ»(36)

al-Ra'd: "And thus We have sent it [the Qur'an] down as a clear command; and if, after the knowledge that has come to you, you [still] follow their desires, you will have against God neither friend nor protector."

الكهف: «وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآياتِ رَبِّهِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْها»(56)

"And who is a greater wrongdoer than one who is reminded of the signs of his Lord and turns away from them and forgets what his own hands have sent before?"

طه: «وَ مَنْ أَعْرَضَ عَنْ ذِكْرِي فَإِنَّ لَهُ مَعِيشَةً ضَنْكاً وَ نَحْشُرُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ أَعْمى قالَ رَبِّ لِمَ حَشَرْتَنِي أَعْمى وَ قَدْ كُنْتُ بَصِيراً قالَ كَذلِكَ أَتَتْكَ آياتُنا فَنَسِيتَها وَ كَذلِكَ الْيَوْمَ تُنْسى»(123 ،124 ،125)

"And whoever turns away from My remembrance shall surely have a straitened [and hard] life, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection. He says: My Lord, why have You raised me up blind when I used to see? He says: Just as Our signs came to you and you consigned them to forgetfulness, so today are you forgotten."

النمل: «حَتَّى إِذا جاؤُ قالَ أَ كَذَّبْتُمْ بِآياتِي وَ لَمْ تُحِيطُوا بِها عِلْماً»(84)

"Until, when [all the unbelievers] come, [God] says: Did you deny My signs while you had no knowledge encompassing them? What then were you doing [all your lives]?"

العنكبوت: «وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنِ افْتَرى عَلَى اللَّهِ كَذِباً أَوْ كَذَّبَ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جاءَهُ أَ لَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ مَثْوىً لِلْكافِرِينَ»(68)

al-'Ankabut: "And who is a greater wrongdoer than one who invents falsehood against God, or denies the truth when it comes to him? Is there not a lodging in Hell for the unbelievers?"

التنزيل: «وَ مَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذُكِّرَ بِآياتِ رَبِّهِ ثُمَّ أَعْرَضَ عَنْها إِنَّا مِنَ الْمُجْرِمِينَ مُنْتَقِمُونَ»(22)

"And who is a greater wrongdoer than one who is reminded of the signs of his Lord and then turns away from them? Truly We shall take vengeance upon the sinners."

الزمر: «فَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ كَذَبَ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَذَّبَ بِالصِّدْقِ إِذْ جاءَهُ أَ لَيْسَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ

"So who is a greater wrongdoer than one who lies against God and denies the truth when it comes to him?"
