FALSE ALLEGATIONS CONDEMNED
The Prophet of Islam (a.s) has said that if someone makes a false allegation against a momin or a momina, and relates a thing about them that is
not true, such a person would be made to stand on a hill of fire on the
Day of Judgement.
Someone asked Hazrat ameer al Momineen (a.s), “What is the distance
between truth and falsehood!” The Imam (a.s) replied, “Only the width
equivalent to the width of four fingers! He told this putting his four fingers between his ear and the eye. Then added, “What you see with your
eye is the truth and most of what you hear through your ear might be the
falsehood!”
One who tells falsehoods about brother momins to belittle them, Allah
will shame him in this world and the Hereafter!
Hazrat Ameer al Momineen (a.s) made a will that people should keep
away from those who make false allegations about others. Their company might make others adopt their nefarious habit.
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has said: One who keeps company ofpeople
who tell falsehoods, might himself be in the same habit.
488Chapter 80
JEALOUSY
Jealousy is among the worst psychological sins. This is the first sin that
Satan committed against Hazrat Adam (a.s). Jealousy is one of the major
sins. The jealous person wishes harm to the subject of his feelings. If he
feels that he should attain the same status as the other person has, then it
can be termed as the spirit of competition that is permissible. When a
jealous person wishes that the status of his subject of jealousy diminishes, it may not happen because all privileges are a gift from Allah. Jealousy against what Allah has given to some will be tantamount to confronting Him! The jealous person, therefore, will be sad and dejected because of this pernicious habit.
Hazrat Ameer al Momineen (a.s) has said, “Don’t be jealous. Jealousy
eats away the Faith as the fire devours the dry wood!”
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) has said, “A momin has recourse to the spirit
of competition (Ghibta) and not jealousy. In Ghibta there is no element of
wishing diminishing of the other person’s status but the wish to equal
him or even surpass him in his achievements.”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) has said, “Heaven is taboo for the
nammam (the backbiter), carrier of tales and the jealous!”
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has said, “O Abu Dharr! One who is a hypocrite and tale carrier in this world, he will be in the Hell on the Day of
Reckoning. A hypocrite is one who praises the person on his face and belittles him in his absence.”
O Abu Dharr! Every secret that a brother momin has confided to you in
private, revealing it to others is dishonesty. Abstain from revealing it. If
you don’t guard the secret of a brother momin, he too might not uphold
your secrets!
489Chapter 81
THE TALEBEARER
A talebearer will never enter the Heaven and will not have any relief
from the tortures of the Hell.
The Prophet of Allah (a.s) has said, “Those who have made it their
habit to gossip and carry tales, create enmity amongst good friends, and
allege failings in others that are not there, are the worst of men. Heaven
is taboo for such persons.” Then the Prophet (a.s) added, “Four types of
people will be denied the Heaven:
1. Soothsayers or wizards.
2. Hypocrites.
3. Alcoholics.
4. Talebearers.”
Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s) narrates that three categories of persons will
not go to the Heaven. 1. Those who shed the blood of Muslims. 2. Those
who take intoxicants. 3. The talebearers.
It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam (a.s) that on the night of Meraj
he saw a woman whose head was like that of a pig and the body akin to
one of a monkey. She was victim to a thousand hardships. The companions asked the Prophet (a.s), “Ya Hazrat! Why the hardships visited the
woman?” He (a.s) replied, “She was a talecarrier and perpetrater of
untruths!”
Imam Mohammed Baqir (a.s) has said, “Very bad is the person who
has two opinions and two words! He praises one on his face and condemns him behind his back! He will be jealous when given something
and run away in times of difficulty!”
The Prophet of Islam (a.s) has said, “A twofaced person will come on
the Day of Judgement with a face having a second tongue in the back of
his head. One of the tongues will be hanging in front of his head. Flames
will be emanating from both the tongues. The fire will then enter his entire body. A herald will announce that this was the same person who adoped two tongues and faces in the world!”
490Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s) has said, “Three types of persons will be under the shadow of the Firmament on the Day of Judgement, when there
will be no other shade than this: 1. A person who arranges marriages of
unmarried momins. 2. One who provides a servant for a brother momin. 3.
One who keeps the secrets of momins. Remember keeping others’ secrets is
very important.”
Hazrat Ameer al Momineen (a.s) has said, “Keep good relations with
your friends lest they become your enemies someday. Don’t exceed in
the enmity with your enemies. Perhaps they might become your good
friends someday!”
“O Abu Dharr! The acts of people committed between a Friday to the
next are recounted to Allah on the following weednesday and Thursday.
Allah pardons the sins of all barring those have carried enmity against
their brothers. Allah orders to keep their deeds in abeyance till they
reach a rapprochement and the enmity is banished.”
“O Abu Dharr! Abstain from keeping a distance from your brother!
Because of creating distances, no action will be acceptable to Allah! O
Abu Dharr! I warn you against creating distances! If circumstance force
separation, let it not be for more than three days! One who keeps away
for more than three days from his brother momin, and dies in that period,
then the Hellfire will be more appropriate for him!”
An authentic source quotes from the Prophet of Islam (a.s), “One who
has more cares and sorrow will be sickly. One who carries a bad character, will be the accursed. One who fights and argues with people will
lack humanness and thoughtfulness.” Then the Prophet (a.s) added,
“Jibrael (a.s) has always been warning me against litigation the same
way that he warned against drinking and idolatory!”
It is narrated from Imam Jafar e Sadiq (a.s), “As long as two Muslims
remain at loggerheads, Satan will remain happy. When they reach a rapprochement, the Satan’s knees crumble! He then complains, ‘What a
calamity has struck me!’”
The Imam (a.s) also said, “Sadaqa (charity) is very dear to Allah. That
is, arranging a rapprochement between warring groups arranging a
truce between two fighting men is a better charity than giving away two
gold coins in alms!”
