Ameer al-Momineen (a.s) said: “Even if I hit a believer's nose with my sword in order to make him my enemy, he will not become my enemy. Also even if I bestow the whole universe to a hypocrite to make him like me, he will not like me. This is because of God's words that were expressed by the illiterate Prophet: O' Ali! No believer will ever become your enemy, and no hypocrite will ever become your friend.”
وقال أمير المؤمنين (عليه السلام): لو ضربت خيشوم المؤمن بسيفي هذا على أن يبغضني ما أبغضني، ولو صببت الدنيا بجملتها على المنافق على أن يحبني ما أحبني، وذلك أنه قضي فانقضى على لسان النبي الأمي أنه قال: يا علي، لا يبغضك مؤمن ولا يحبك منافق.
