1027. Satan Worshippers

(أَلَمْ أَعْهَدْ إِلَيْكُمْ يا بَني آدَمَ أَنْ لا تَعْبُدُوا الشَّيْطانَ إِنَّهُ لَكُمْ عَدُوٌّ مُبِينٌ).¹

"Did I not exhort you, O children of Adam, saying, "Do not worship Satan. He is indeed your manifest enemy." ²

3255.الإمامُ عليٌّ عليه السلام - في ذَمِّ أتباعِ الشَّيطانِ - : اِتَّخَذُوا الشَّيطانَ لِأمرِهِم مِلاكاً ، واتَّخَذَهُم لَهُ أشراكاً ، فَباضَ وفَرَّخَ في صُدُورِهِم ، وَدَبَّ ودَرَجَ في حُجُورِهم ، فَنَظَرَ بِأعيُنِهِم ، ونَطَقَ بِألسِنَتِهِم ، فَرَكِبَ بِهِمُ الزَّلَلَ ، وزَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الخَطَلَ ، فِعلَ مَن قد شَرِكَهُ الشَّيطانُ في سُلطانِهِ ، ونَطَقَ بالباطِلِ عَلى‏ لِسانِهِ !³

3255.Imam Ali (AS) said, condemning those who follow Satan, 'They have taken Satan as the controller for their affairs, and he has in turn adopted them as his partners [ used them as his traps]. He has laid eggs and hatched them in their bosoms, and crawled into their laps, until he saw through their eyes and spoke with their tongues. Thus does he lead them to commit errors and glamorizes their own foolish deeds to them, like the act of one whom Satan has made partner in his domain, speaking lies through his tongue.' ⁴
