النَّهيُ عَنِ التَّعرُّبِ بَعدَ الهِجرَةِ Prohibition of Returning to [a State of] Renegation after Having Migrated [to Belief] (al-ta`aarrub ba`ad al-hijra)

10ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ) ـ في وصيَّتِهِ لعليٍّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) ـ: لا تَعَرُّبَ بَعدَ الهِجرَةِ .

10– The Prophet (SAWA), in his will to Ali (AS) said, ‘There is no regeneration after migration.’[Wasa’il al-Shi'a, v. 11, p. 75, no. 1]
 

11ـ رسولُ اللهِ‏ِ (صَلَّيَ اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَ آلِهِ): إنّـي بَـريءٌ مِن كُلِّ مُسلِمٍ نَزَلَ مَع مُشرِكٍ في دارِ الحَربِ .

11– The Prophet (SAWA) said, ‘I disassociate myself from any Muslim who lives with a polytheist in a place of war [with the enemy].’[Nawadir al-Rawandi, p. 23]
 

12ـ الإمامُ الصّادقُ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): المُتَعَرِّبُ بَعدَ الهِجرَةِ التّارِكُ لهذا الأمرِ بَعدَ مَعرِفَتِهِ.

12– Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, ‘The one who returns to a state of renegation after migration [to belief] is one who abandons this affair [of Islam] after having acknowledged it.’[Ma`ani al-Akhbar, p. 265]
 

13ـ الإمامُ الرِّضا (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): حَرَّمَ اللّه‏ُ التَّعَرُّبَ بَعدَ الهِجرَةِ للرُّجوعِ عَنِ الدِّينِ وتَركِ المُوازَرَةِ للأنبياءِ والحُجَجِ ^، وما في ذلِكَ مِن الفَسادِ وإبطالِ حَقِّ كُلِّ ذي حَقٍّ لِعِلَّةِ سُكنَى البَدوِ؛ ولذلكَ لَو عَرَفَ الرّجُلُ الدِّينَ كامِلاً لَم يَجُزْ لَهُ مُساكَنَةُ أهلِ الجَهلِ، والخَوفِ علَيهِ؛ لأنّهُ لا يُؤمَنُ أن يَقَعَ مِنهُ تَركُ العِلمِ، والدُّخولُ مَع أهلِ الجَهلِ والتَّمادِي في ذلكَ.

13– Imam al-Rida (AS) said, ‘Allah has prohibited renegation after migration [to belief] because of [the danger] of denouncing one’s religion and leaving the support of the prophets and the divine proofs (AS), and the corruption that would ensue, the nullification of the rights of all those who hold rights [in religion], especially for bedouins. This is why, if a man were to have acknowledged religion completely, it is not allowed for him to go and live with people who are ignorant [or in disbelief] of it, and as a result of fear for him, for he can never be safe from falling from his position of knowledge and re-entering into ignorance and remaining therein.’[Wasael al-Shi`aah , v. 11, p. 75, no. 2]
