Punishment of taunting a believer and turning a deaf ear to his words
1
حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیٍّ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ مِنْ نُورِ عَظَمَتِهِ وَ جَلَالِ کَرَامَتِهِ فَمَنْ طَعَنَ عَلَیْهِمْ أَوْ رَدَّ عَلَیْهِمْ قَوْلَهُمْ فَقَدْ رَدَّ اللَّهَ فِی عَرْشِهِ وَ لَیْسَ مِنَ اللَّهِ فِی شَیْ ءٍ إِنَّمَا هُوَ شِرْکُ الشَّیْطَانِ.
1. Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) said, “Surely Allah, the Mighty and Sublime has created the believers with the light of His greatness and the majesty of His supremacy. Hence, one who taunts him or turns a deaf ear to his words has rejected Allah on His throne. He will not get anything from Allah; he is only a partner of Shaitaan.”
