<strong>The</strong> Devil's <strong>Deception</strong> of al-Raficjah ('4.,ajl)I)<br />

Just as Iblis deceived the Kharijites to the point of killing 'Ali<br />

(ratfiyAlkihu 'anhu), he persuaded others to exaggerate in loving him.<br />

Some of them even believed that he was god, while others believed<br />

he was the greatest of Prophets. Yet others loved him to the point<br />

of cursing Abu Bakr and 'Umar (rdlffyAlldhu 'anhuma) and considering<br />
