Hadith 27

Tafseer Al Qummi – My father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws preached (a sermon) five days after allegiance having been pledged to him-asws, and he-asws said in it: ‘And Know, that for every right there is a seeker, and for every blood (spilt) there is an avenger, and the seeker of our-asws right is like the standing of the avenger of our-asws blood, and the Judge in His-azwj own Right, He-azwj is the Just Who is not unfair, and the Judge Who does not Exceed, and He-azwj is Allah-azwj, the One, the Vanquisher. And know, that upon every initiator of an innovation would be his burden and the burden of all the ones who follow him from after him (believe him), from without there being any reduction from the burdens of the worlds by anything, and Allah-azwj would Take Revenge from the unjust one, food with food and drink with drink, from a morsel (with) the morsel. So, let them be drinking with the pouring from the wine of the venomous medication, and let them be wearing the jackets of the fear for a lengthy period, and for them, due to all what they had come to and committed. It would not remain except for the bitter cold from their winters, and there would not be for them from the summer except for (prolonged) sleep. Woe be unto them, what they are providing and amassing upon their backs from the sins and the errors! O committer of the sins, and bearer of the burden and the burdens and the sins along with those who are unjust! Listen, and use your intellects, and repent, and weep upon yourselves, And they shall come to know, those who are being unjust, which overturning they would be Overturned with [26: 227]. I-asws hereby swear! Then I-asws swear (again)! The clan of Umayya would be bearing these (burdens) from after me-asws, and these would be recognised in the houses of others of what is little. Allah-azwj does not Distance anyone except the one who is unjust, and upon the beginning, meaning the first one – what he facilitated for them from the way of the sins, would be the like of their burdens and the burdens of everyone who acted with their burdens, up to the Day of Judgment, and from the burdens of those whom they are straying without knowledge [16: 25]’’.
