Minhaj as-SunnahIbn Taimiya

by Allah: ‘I and My messengers will certainly prevail.’ Surely Allah is All-Powerful, Almighty—You will not find any people who believe in Allah and the Last Day loving those who oppose Allah and His Messenger, even if they are their fathers, sons, brothers, or kindred. It is they in whose hearts He has inscribed faith and whom He has strengthened with a spirit from Him. He will admit them into Gardens beneath which rivers flow, where they will abide forever. Allah is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. They are the party of Allah. Truly, it is the party of Allah who are successful.”
[Surah al-Mujādila: 14–22]

These verses were revealed concerning the hypocrites, and no group contains more hypocrites than the Rāfidīs. Indeed, there is not one among the Rāfidīs who does not possess some branch of hypocrisy.

As the Prophet—may Allah bless him and grant him peace—said:

“There are four traits: whoever possesses them all is a pure hypocrite, and whoever possesses one of them has (1) a trait of hypocrisy until he abandons it: when he speaks, he lies; when he is entrusted with something, he betrays the trust; when he makes a covenant, he acts treacherously; and when he disputes, he transgresses.”

It was recorded by both al-Bukhārī and Muslim in their Sahih collections (2).

“You see many of them taking those who disbelieve as allies. Wretched indeed is what their souls have sent ahead for them: Allah is displeased with them, and they will abide forever in the punishment—Had they believed in Allah, the Prophet, and what was revealed to him, they would not have taken them as allies; but many of them are defiantly disobedient.”

[Surah al-Māʾida: 80–81]

اللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا وَرُسُلِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ - لَا تَجِدُ قَوْمًا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ يُوَادُّونَ مَنْ حَادَّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَلَوْ كَانُوا آبَاءَهُمْ أَوْ أَبْنَاءَهُمْ أَوْ إِخْوَانَهُمْ أَوْ عَشِيرَتَهُمْ أُولَئِكَ كَتَبَ فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْإِيمَانَ وَأَيَّدَهُمْ بِرُوحٍ مِنْهُ وَيُدْخِلُهُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَرَضُوا عَنْهُ أُولَئِكَ حِزْبُ اللَّهِ أَلَا إِنَّ حِزْبَ اللَّهِ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ} [سُورَةُ الْمُجَادَلَةِ: ١٤ - ٢٢] . فَهَذِهِ الْآيَاتُ نَزَلَتْ فِي الْمُنَافِقِينَ، وَلَيْسَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ فِي طَائِفَةٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهُمْ فِي الرَّافِضَةِ، حَتَّى أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي الرَّوَافِضِ إِلَّا مَنْ فِيهِ شُعْبَةٌ مِنْ شُعَبِ النِّفَاقِ. كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ -: " «أَرْبَعٌ مَنْ كُنْ فِيهِ كَانَ مُنَافِقًا خَالِصًا وَمَنْ كَانَتْ فِيهِ خَصْلَةً مِنْهُنَّ كَانَتْ (١) فِيهِ خَصْلَةٌ مِنَ النِّفَاقِ حَتَّى يَدَعَهَا: إِذَا حَدَثَ كَذِبَ، وَإِذَااؤْتُمِنُ خَانَ، وَإِذَا عَاهَدَ غَدَرَ، وَإِذَا خَاصَمَ فَجَرَ» " . أَخْرَجَاهُ فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ (٢) . {تَرَى كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ يَتَوَلَّوْنَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَبِئْسَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لَهُمْ أَنْفُسُهُمْ أَنْ سَخِطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَفِي الْعَذَابِ هُمْ خَالِدُونَ - وَلَوْ كَانُوا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَالنَّبِيِّ وَمَا أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مَا اتَّخَذُوهُمْ أَوْلِيَاءَ وَلَكِنَّ كَثِيرًا مِنْهُمْ فَاسِقُونَ} [سُورَةُ الْمَائِدَةِ: ٨٠ - ٨١] (٣) .
