SERMON 7

About the hypocrites

They(1) have made Satan
the master of their affairs, and he has taken them as partners. He has laid eggs and
hatched them in their bosoms. He creeps and crawls in their laps. He sees through their
eyes, and speaks with their tongues. In this way he has led them to sinfulness and adorned
for them foul things like the action of one whom Satan has made partner in his domain and
speaks untruth through his tongue.
(1).
Amir al-mu'minin says about the hypocrites (i.e. those who opposed him before and during
his Caliphate) that they are partners in action of Satan and his helpers and supporters.
He too has befriended them so much that he has made his abode with them, resides on their
bosoms, lays eggs and hatches young one from them there, while these young ones jump and
play in their laps without demur. He means that Satanic evil ideas take birth in their
bosoms and grow and thrive there. There is no restrain on them, nor restriction of any
kind. He has so permeated in their blood and mingled in their spirit that both have become
completely unified. Now eyes are theirs but sight is his, the tongue is theirs but the
words are his, as the Prophet had said, "Verily, Satan permeates the progeny of Adam
like blood." That is, just as the circulation of blood does not stop, in the same way
the quick succession of Satan's evil ideas know no break and he draws man towards evil in
sleep and wakefulness, and in every posture, rising or sitting. He so paints them with his
dye that their word and action reflect an exact portrait of his word and action. Those
whose bosoms shine with the effulgence of faith prevent such evil ideas but some are
already ready to welcome those evils and these are the persons who under the garb of Islam
are ever after advancement of heresy.
