جَواز قتل مَن نَصَبََ العِداوة لإمام المُسلمينَ The Permission to Kill One Who Declares Enmity Towards the Im?m of the Muslims

11- الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): ـ في النّاصبِ ـ : لَولا أنّا نَخافُ علَيكُم أنْ يُقتَلَ رجُلٌ مِنكُم برجُلٍ مِنهُم ـ و رجُلٌ مِنكُم خَيرٌ مِن ألفِ رجُلٍ مِنهُم ـ لَأمَرناكُم بالقَتلِ لَهُم ، و لكنْ ذلكَ إلَى الإمامِ .

 

11- Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said about one who declares enmity towards the Im?m of the Muslims: ‘If it were not for the fact that we were afraid for your sake – that one of you may be killed for killing one of them, and one of you is worth a thousand of their men – we would order you to kill them; but this is left to [the discretion of] the Imam.’[Wasael al-Shi`aah , v. 11, p. 60, no. 2]
