مايُفسِدُ العامَّةَ That Which Corrupts People in General

1- المَعصِيةُ

1ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنّ المَعصيَةَ إذا عَمِلَ بها العَبدُ سِرّاً لم تَضُرَّ إلّا عامِلَها، وإذا عَمِلَ بها عَلانِيَةً ولم يُغَيَّرْ علَيهِ أضَرَّت بالعامَّةِ.

1. Sin
1– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘If a servant [of Allah] was to secretly sin, he would only harm himself, and if he was to commit it openly and not change, people would be harmed by it.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 100, p. 74, no. 15]
 

2- الاختِلافُ

2ـ الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): وأيمُ اللّه‏ِ، ما اختَلَفَت اُمَّةٌ بَعدَ نَبِيِّها إلّا ظَهَرَ باطِلُها علىحَقِّها إلّا ماشاءَاللّه‏ُ.

2. Dissention
2– Imam Ali (AS) said, ‘By Allah, no sooner does a community dissent after their prophet than falsehood prevails over the truth, save that which Allah wills…’[Amali al-Mufid, p. 235, no. 5]
 

3- مَنعُ الحقِّ

3ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): لن تُقَدَّسَ اُمّةٌ لايُؤخَذُ للضَّعيفِ فيها حَقُّهُ مِن القَوِيِّ غيرَ مُتَعتَعٍ.

3. Preventing the truth
3– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘A community who does not let the weak uphold his rights from the strong without obstacle will never be sanctified.’[Bihar al-Anwar, v. 77, p. 258, no. 1]
