Lesson twenty six :Key of misfortunes

Imam Hassan Askari( A. S. )said:

إنَّ اللّهَ جَعَلَ لِلشَّرِ أَقْفَالًا وَ جَعَلَ مَفاتِيحِ تِلْكَ الأَقْفالِ الشَّرابَ، وَ الْكِذْبُ شَرٌّ مِنَ الشَّرابِ‌

Translation

God has set some locks for evils and maladies, the key of which is wine, and lying is even worse than wine..

Brief description

The greatest and most effective hindrance for evils and maladies is wisdom and intellect, and this is a strong lock set on them. When lock of" wisdom" is opened by the key of" wine", all evils and obscenities are freed and a drunk person may commit any possible crime, sin and corruption.

But if a drinker commits a sin under dipsomania condition, a liar disturbs knowingly organization of a social life, and kills the spirit of reliance and becomes source of all sins and corruption. So lie is even more dangerous than wine.
