حکمت 323: بدا به حال شما! آنکه شما را فریب داد… · Saying 323

وَ قَالَ (عليه السلام): وَ قَدْ مَرَّ بِقَتْلَي الْخَوَارِجِ يَوْمَ النَّهْرَوَانِ بُؤْساً لَكُمْ لَقَدْ ضَرَّكُمْ مَنْ غَرَّكُمْ فَقِيلَ لَهُ مَنْ غَرَّهُمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَ الشَّيْطَانُ الْمُضِلُّ وَ الْأَنْفُسُ الْأَمَّارَةُ بِالسُّوءِ غَرَّتْهُمْ بِالْأَمَانِيِّ وَ فَسَحَتْ لَهُمْ بِالْمَعَاصِي وَ وَعَدَتْهُمُ الْإِظْهَارَ فَاقْتَحَمَتْ بِهِمُ النَّارَ

Amir al-Mu'minin, peace be upon him, passed by the dead bodies of the Kharijites on the day of the battle of Nahrawan and said: Woe unto you! You have been harmed by him who deceived you. He was asked: O Amir al-Mu'minin, who deceived them? Then, he replied: Satan, the deceiver, and the inner spirit that leads one to evil deceived them through passions, made it easy for them to get into sins, promised them victory and eventually threw them into the Fire.
