3066.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن خَفَّ لِسُلطانٍ جائرٍ في حاجَةٍ كانَ قَرِينَهُ في النارِ .1

3066.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Whoever yields to a tyrannical ruler in any matter will be his companion in the Fire.' 2

3067.رسولُ اللَّهِ صلى اللَّه عليه وآله : مَن مَدَحَ سُلطاناً جائراً وتَخَفَّفَ وتَضَعضَعَ لَهُ طَمَعاً فيهِ ، كانَ قَرِينَهُ إلى النارِ .3

3067.The Prophet (SAWA) said, 'Whoever praises a tyrannical ruler, succumbs to him or humbles himself in front of him in a bid to secure his pleasure, will accompany him to the Fire.' 4

3068.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : أيُّما مُؤمِنٍ خَضَعَ‏ لِصاحِبِ سلطانٍ أو مَن يُخالِفُهُ على‏ دِينِهِ طَلَباً لِما في يَدَيهِ ، أخمَلَهُ اللَّهُ ومَقَتَهُ علَيهِ ووَكَلَهُ إلَيهِ ، فإن هُو غَلَبَ عَلى‏ شَي‏ءٍ مِن دُنياهُ وصارَ في يَدِهِ مِنهُ شَي‏ءٌ ، نَزَعَ اللَّهُ البَرَكَةَ مِنهُ .5

3068.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Any believer who is subservient to a ruler, or any other person who is going against his faith in his bid to secure the worldly things that they may have in their grasp, Allah will reduce him to obscurity, will be angry with him and will relegate him to them. And whatever he manages to acquire and possess of the worldly things, Allah will strip them of their benediction.'6
