Punishment of not knowing the rights of AhleBayt عليه السلام

أَبِی ره قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ مُوسَی عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَیْنِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَمَّنْ ذَکَرَهُ عَنِ الْخَثْعَمِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی الصَّامِتِ عَنِ الْمُعَلَّی بْنِ خُنَیْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع یَا مُعَلَّی لَوْ أَنَّ عَبْداً عَبَدَ اللَّهَ مِائَهَ عَامٍ بَیْنَ الرُّکْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ یَصُومُ نَهَاراً وَ یَقُومُ لَیْلًا حَتَّی یَسْقُطَ حَاجِبَاهُ عَلَی عَیْنَیْهِ وَ تَلْتَقِیَ تَرَاقِیهِ هوما [هَرَماً] جَاهِلًا بِحَقِّنَا لَمْ یَکُنْ لَهُ ثَوَابٌ.
1. The narrator says that Imam Ja’far Sadiq عليه السلام told him, “O Mualla! Even if one prays between rukn and maqaam for a hundred years continuously, fasting during the day and passing nights in Qiyam and prostrating so much so that his brows hang in front of his eyes, his back stoops but he is unaware of our rights, there is no reward for him.”
