(Surah Baqarah (2): 179) Imam (a.s.) informed – O nation of Muhammad know that there is life for you in retaliation. Whoever intends to kill should know that vengeance will be taken. So he should desist. This is the life (referred to in the verse) for the one who intends to kill. For him as well as the one he intended to kill. When he understands that retaliation is a binding command he will not dare to kill - O men of understanding, O possessors of intellect, that you may guard yourselves. Then he (a.s.) said – O servants, this is the retaliation of the killing you have committed in this world and (through it) have destroyed the soul. Should I not inform you about something that is more serious that this killing that he commits and what Allah has revealed upon the killer from what is higher than this retaliation (of worldly killing)? They said: Yes, O son of Allah’s Prophet! He (a.s.) said: (A crime) greater that this (worldly) killing that he commits for which there is no compensation possible and after which he will never be enlivened ever. They said: What is it? Imam (a.s.) informed – That he deviates (others) from the Prophethood of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and from the Wilayat of Ali b. Abi Talib (a.s.) and takes him on a path other than Allah’s Path and through it turns him into a follower of Ali’s enemies and (a follower) of the words of their Imams and repels Ali (a.s.) from his right and rejects his virtues and does not care about the divine favours bestowed (on Ali (a.s.)) and the binding respect (of his authority). Then this is the killing that becomes a cause for the everlasting stay of the victim in the fire of hell forever permanently. Then the punishment (of the killer) for this killing is the same everlasting residence in the fire of hell (as the victim).
