Beware of becoming the companions of Satan that he penetrates into your person. We might be carrying a hallucination that we are performing good deeds and, in actual fact, our actions are all at the instigation of Satan. This situation is so delicate that it is thinner than the hair and sharper than the sword.

According to Haji Noori some people die with the false pride that they are the friends of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) and think that by making such claims they will earn a place in the Heaven. If they are true friends of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) then they would implicitly comply with all the commandments of the Faith. It is quite possible, if they are making empty claims of friendship with Hazrat Ali (a.s.), they are acting on the instigation of the accursed Satan!

Beware O hapless Muslims! Your faith is in danger! If Satan puts you in doubts at the time of your death, what would happen to you? In your own false pride you claim to be Hazrat Ali (a.s.)'s friend!

Where are you heading to? In whose obedience you are indulging? If that is Satan, then he is your friend and guide. The friendship of Ali (a.s.) too might be there in your heart. But let it not be dominated by other evil influences! Confess whether you value your worldly desires more than the love of Hazrat Ali (a.s.)! If your concern is fulfillment of worldly desires, are you not concerned for the Hereafter?
