Allah does not love destruction
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 435
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَلْمَانَ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عليه السلام) وَ إِذا تَوَلَّى سَعى فِي الْأَرْضِ لِيُفْسِدَ فِيها وَ يُهْلِكَ الْحَرْثَ وَ النَّسْلَ بِظُلْمِهِ وَ سُوءِ سِيرَتِهِ وَ اللَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْفَسادَ.
435. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Salmaan Al-Azdy, from Abu Al-Jaroud, from Abu Is’haq, who has narrated the following: Amir-ul- Momineen عليه الصلاة والسلام said regarding “[2:205] And when he turns back, he runs along in the land that he may cause mischief in it and destroy the tilth and the stock”, by his injustices, and his evil ways “and Allah does not love mischief-making”.
