The words of the Almighty: {Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly are only consuming into their bellies fire and will ever burn in a Blaze} 1 . He says: "Those who devour the property of orphans" refers to those who learned Monotheism (al-Tawhid) while not truly believing in it. They only presume [escape] through that which they are transferred into within the metamorphoses (al-Masukhiyyat). They shall remain among the "Toiled Ones" (al-Makdudat); the Angels of Punishment (al-Zabaniya) shall scorch them through toil and slaughter, and the "Blaze" (al-Sa'ir) refers to the [divine] rebuke.
[30] And on the authority of 'Ali ibn Ahmad al-Barqi, by his chain of transmission from al-Mufaddal ibn 'Umar—peace be upon him—who said: The Knower (al-'Alim)—exalted is His might—said:
"If you see a man who is neither toweringly tall nor clingingly short, lean of flesh, moderate of bone, with a 'smooth' neck—meaning he is silent—possessing a great lust for beauty, such that whenever he sees a woman he leans toward her and desires her proximity, frequent in movement, unable to carry anything upon his head, long-faced, thick-lipped, long-nosed, long-nailed, round-fingered, with little inclination toward eating meat and a preference for the plants of the earth—then know that he is one transferred from donkeys."
