About the
hypocritesThey (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.
