4-40 Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Masroor - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Al-Hussein ibn Muhammad ibn Amer quoted his uncle Abdullah ibn Amer, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Zyad, on the authority of Sayf ibn Umayrih, on the authority of Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB), “Whoever doesn’t care about what he says or what he is toldis a sort of partner for Satan. Whoever doesn’t care about what evil deeds he does in front of the people is a sort of partner for Satan. Whoever gossips about a believer unduly is a sort of partner for Satan. Whoever enjoys forbidden love and the lust of adultery is a sort of partner for Satan. The Imam (MGB) then added, “Bastards have definite characteristics: First, they hate us - members of the Household of the Holy Prophet (MGB). Second, they long for the illegitimate way in which they themselves were created. Third, they disparage the religion. Fourth, they mistreat the people. They are only welcomed by those who were conceived through their mother having sex with men other than her husband, or whose mothers conceived them in their periods of menstruation.”
