وَ قِيلَ لِلصَّادِقِ ع اِنَّ فُلَانًا يُوَالِيكُمْ اِلَّا اَنَّهُ‏ يَضْعُفُ‏ عَنِ‏ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ‏ عَدُوِّكُمْ‏ قَالَ هَيْهَاتَ كَذَبَ مَنِ ادَّعَى مَحَبَّتَنَا وَ لَمْ يَتَبَرَّأْ مِنْ عَدُوِّنَا

It was said to Imam Sadeq (peace be upon him), “So and so person expresses his love for you (Ahle Bait a.s.) but weakens in expressing his enmity against your enemy.” Imam (peace be upon him) retorted,

“Alas! He has lied who claims our love but did not express his hatred against our enemy.”
