Arabic text

3-28 حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رضي الله عنه قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار قال: حدثني العباس بن معروف، عن بكر بن محمد، عن أبي بصير عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: اصول الكفر ثلاثة: الحرص والاستكبار والحسد، فأما الحرص فآدم حين نهي عن الشجرة حمله الحرص على أن يأكل منها، وأما الاستكبار فابليس حين امر بالسجود فأبى، وأما الحسد فابنا آدم حين قتل أحدهما صاحبه حسدا

Translation

3-28 Muhammad ibn al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted Al-Ab’bas ibn Maruf, on the authority of Bakr ibn Muhammad, on the authority of Abi Basir that Aba Abdullah as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “There are three roots for infidelity: greed, haughtiness and jealousy. Regarding greed, when Adam was forbidden to eat of the tree, greed caused him to eat of it. Regarding haughtiness, when Satan was ordered to prostrate, he refused to do so. Regarding jealousy, one of the two sons of Adam killed the other one due to jealousy.”
