Enemies for our sake
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 519
أَحْمَدُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ الْأَعْشَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ عَادَيْتُمْ فِينَا الْآبَاءَ وَ الْأَبْنَاءَ وَ الْأَزْوَاجَ وَ ثَوَابُكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمَا إِنَّ أَحْوَجَ مَا تَكُونُونَ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ الْأَنْفُسُ إِلَى هَذِهِ وَ أَوْمَأَ بِيَدِهِ إِلَى حَلْقِهِ.
519. Ahmad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Quteyba Al-A’ashy who said: I heard Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام saying: ‘You have antagonised your fathers, and your sons, and your wives with regards to us عليه الصلاة والسلام, and your Reward is upon Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic. But rather, it would be most needed when you are in a state when your souls reach to here’ – and he عليه الصلاة والسلام gestured by his عليه الصلاة والسلام hand to his عليه الصلاة والسلام throat’.
