وَقَالَ (عليه السلام):
Amir al-mu'minin, peace be upon him, said:
لاَ تَأْمَنَنَّ عَلَى خَيْرِ هذِهِ الاْمَّةِ عَذَابَ اللهِ، لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالى:
Do not feel safe from the punishment of Allah even about the best man in the whole community because Allah, the Sublime, says:
(فَلا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اَللَّهِ إِلاَّ اَلْقَوْمُ اَلْخاسِرُونَ)
But no one feels secure against the plan of Allah save the people (who are the) losers. (Qur'an, 7:99).
وَ لاَ تَيْأَسَنَّ لِشَرِّ هَذِهِ اَلْأُمَّةِ مِنْ رَوْحِ اَللَّهِ لِقَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى
Again, do not lose hope even for the worst man of the community because Allah-, the Sublime says:
(إِنَّهُ لا يَيْأَسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اَللَّهِ إِلاَّ اَلْقَوْمُ اَلْكافِرُونَ).
Verily, despairs not of Allah's mercy but the disbelieving people. (Qur'an, 12:87).
