وقال عليه السلام لعمار بن ياسر رحمه الله، وقد سمعه يراجع المغيرة بن شعبة كلاماً:
Amir al-mu’minin, peace be upon him, heard Ammar ibn Yasir (may Allah have mercy on him) conversing with al- Mughirah ibn Shu'bah and said:
دَعْهُ يَا عَمَّارُ،
Let him alone O Ammar,
فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَأْخُذْ مِنَ الدِّينِ
for he has entered religion
إِلاَّ مَا قَارَبَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا،
only to the extent of his deriving advantage of the world,
وَعَلَى عَمدٍ لَبَّسَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ
and he has wilfully involved himself in misgivings
لِيَجْعَلَ الشُّبُهَاتِ عَاذِراً لِسَقَطَاتِهِ
in order to adopt them as cover for his shortcomings.
