1 hadith
سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَيَابَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ يَرْفَعُونَهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذِّبُ السِّتَّةَ بِالسِّتَّةِ الْعَرَبَ بِالْعَصَبِيَّةِ وَ الدَّهَاقِينَ بِالْكِبْرِ وَ الْأُمَرَاءَ بِالْجَوْرِ وَ الْفُقَهَاءَ بِالْحَسَدِ وَ التُّجَّارَ بِالْخِيَانَةِ وَ أَهْلَ الرَّسَاتِيقِ بِالْجَهْلِ.
