It is narrated from the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) who said: The wicked person is the one who sells his religion. For example a person who uses religion for his business or pretends to be religious is not true. But even worse than such a person is the one who sells his hereafter for another world. Meaning, to ignore religion for the sake another person to reach a top position unjustly. The source of this misfortune is to imitate blindly.

The one, who is blind this way, cannot recognize that to be on the axis of the truth, does not depend on slogan and flag; rather it is based on deeds and method. Such individuals the moment they hear the slogan (used by Abbasids to deceive people) “Ar-Reza Men Ale Mohammad (Khelafah is for the family of the Prophet (PBUH)” gather around it and help Abbasids to secure their unjust rule (over Muslims). Therefore, it is possible that a person who beats his chest for Imam Hussain (AS) for a life time, but the beating of chest is for Yazid and the person himself does not realize it [1]
