And you do not work for the sake of the next world, while it is only by work that you will be provided for in it. Woe be unto you, evil scholars (‘ulama)! You take payments and waste works. The backer[1] comes close to accepting his work, and the people come close to leaving the narrowness of this world for the darkness of the grave. How can one be knowledgable who is on the way to the next world and nevertheless is going after this world, and he likes the things that harm him more than the things that benefit him?’” (Kafi, 2, 319, 13) [1] Rabb al-’amal has been translated as ‘backer’. It refers to those who support the evil ‘ulama, following them and giving them financial backing. |
