راهزنان ایمان

حضرت شعیب(ع) در سومین بخش دعوت خودء قوم کافرپیشه‌اش را از تصرض به راه مستقیم الهی و دین بر حذر می‌دارد. از این جمله فهمیده می‌شود که قوم شعیب به روش‌های گوناگون مردم را از او گریزان می‌کردند و آنها را از این که به او ایمان بیاورند و نزد او بروند و به سخنانش گوش دهند و در مراسم عبادتش شرکت کننده منع می‌نمودند و آنها را تهدید می‌کردند که به دین حق و راه توحید ایمان نیاورند. کوتاه سخن این که قوم شعیب با تمام نیرو و نیرنگشان بر سر راه ایمان کمین کرده بودند و راه‌زنی می‌کردند و مردم را از ایمان نهی می کردند. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۱- نمونهء ج۶» ص ۲۴۵ > ۴ المیزان» ج۸» ص ۱۹۱ ۵- پیشین» ص ۱۹۲ > ۲- اطیب‌البیان» ج۵» ص ۳۷۶ > ۵ پیشین» ص ۱۹۲ > ۳-نمونه ج ۲۴ ص ۳۰۰ وج ص ۱۸۱ > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): Tafsīr Nemūneh, al-Mīzān, Aṭyab al-Bayān.
