Khawaarij's Love for Dunya

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد


A man from the Khawaarij came to al-Hasan al-Basree and said: What do you have to say about the Khawaarij? Al-Hasan said: They chase the Dunya. The man said: And what makes you say that, whereas one of them walks with the spear till it breaks (i.e. engages in war) and abandons his wife and children? Al-Hasan said: Tell me about the ruler, does he prevent you from establishing the prayer, paying the Zakaah and performing Hajj and `Umrah? He said: No. He said: I only see that he prevented you from the Dunya, so you fought him for it.
