their insights have diminished and their opinions have become foolish in matters of religion because of the stupidity and dullness they are created with such as the blacks and the arabs and kurds the rough people of the capitals and the foolish youth. perhaps this type is the largest group of people in number. how can it be unlikely that they would accept that when we see a group in some cities near basra worshipping people who claim that they inherited divinity from their fathers known as the shabasiyah? a group believed in ali may god be pleased with him that he is the god of the heavens and the earth the lord of the worlds. they are a large creation that cannot be counted and cannot be contained by any country so it is not appropriate to be amazed at them a lot. ignorance of man when satan takes control of him and failure takes hold of him
وقلت بصائرهم وسخفت في امور الدين آراؤهم لما جبلوا عليه من البله والبلادة مثل السواد وأفجاج العرب والأكراد وجفاة الأعاصم وسفهاء الأحداث ولعل هذا الصنف هم أكبر الناس عددا وكيف يستبعد قبولهم لذلك ونحن نشاهد جماعة في بعض المدائن القريبة من البصرة يعبدون أناسا يزعمون أنهم ورثوا الربوبيه من آبائهم المعروفين بالشباسية وقد اعتقدت طائفة في علي رضي الله عنه انه إله السموات والارض رب العالمين وهم خلق كثير لا يحصرهم عدد ولا يحويهم بلد فلا ينبغي أن يكثر التعجب من جهل الإنسان إذا استحوذ عليه الشيطان واستولى عليه الخذلان
