20. It has been narrated that Abu Hamzah said
I heard Abu Ja'far (a.s) saying: Verily, Allah took a covenant from the believer that he would bother with four types of afflictions. The first and the easiest of these is a fellow believer who envies him; the second is a hypocrite who follows his tracks; the third is a devil who tries to tempt and mislead him; and the fourth is an infidel from whom he felt safe but who strives to fight him. What remains of a believer after (all) this?”
20 - عن أبي حمزة قال
سمعت أبا جعفر (ع) يقول إنّ اللهَ (جلّ جلاله) أخذَ ميثاقَ المؤمن على بلايا أربعٍ الأولى أيسرُها عليه: مؤمن مثله يحسدُه، والثانية: منافق يقفو أثرَه، والثالثة: شيطان يعرِض له يفتنه ويُضلّه، والرابعة: كافر بالذي آمنَ به يرى جهادَه جهاداً. فما بقاء المؤمن بعدَ هذا؟
