The Messenger (peace be upon him and his family): O son of Mas'ud! A time will come when the one who is patient in his religion is like one holding fire in his palm — unless one is a wolf, the wolves will devour him. Son of Mas'ud! Their scholars and jurists will be traitors and immoral, they are the worst of Allah's creation. Likewise their followers, and those who go to them and take [fatwas] from them, love them, sit with them and consult them, and those who are the wicked of creation drag them into Hellfire. صُمٌّ بُکْمٌ عُمْیٌ فَهُمْ لایَرْجِعُونَ [They are deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not return] (Baqarah/18). وَ نَحْشُرُهُمْ یَوْمَ الْقِیامَةِ عَلی وُجُوهِهِمْ عُمْیاً وَ بُکْماً وَ صُمًّا مَأْواهُمْ جَهَنَّمُ کُلَّما خَبَتْ زِدْناهُمْ سَعِیراً [And on the Day of Resurrection We shall gather them on their faces, blind, dumb and deaf; their abode shall be Hell; whenever it abates We will increase for them the blaze]. کُلَّما نَضِجَتْ جُلُودُهُمْ بَدَّلْناهُمْ جُلُوداً غَیْرَها لِیَذُوقُوا الْعَذابَ [Whenever the skins of their bodies are roasted [in it and burn], We will replace them with other skins, that they may taste the punishment] (Nisa/59). وَ إِذا أُلْقُوا فِیها سَمِعُوا لَها شَهِیقاً وَ هِیَ تَفُورُ تَکادُ تَمَیَّزُ مِنَ الْغَیْظِ [And when they are cast into it they will hear a terrifying roar from it, while it is boiling! It is nearly bursting apart from rage] (Mulk/87). کُلَّما أَرادُوا أَنْ یَخْرُجُوا مِنْها مِنْ غَمٍّ أُعِیدُوا فِیها وَ قِیلَ لَهُمْ ذُوقُوا عَذابَ الْحَرِیقِ [Whenever they want to come out of it, out of grief, they are returned to it, and it is said to them: Taste the burning punishment!] (Hajj/22). لَهُمْ فِیها زَفِیرٌ وَ هُمْ فِیها لایَسْمَعُونَ [For them therein is groaning, and they will not hear] (Anbiya/100). They claim that they are upon my religion, my sunnah, my path and my laws — [but] they are free of me and I am free of them.
