31. People do not say about anything, “[what a great] blessing!” except that time has hidden a bad day for it.
33. Verily you will be faced with my vilification and repudiation, so revile me [if you must], but beware of repudiating me.
34. We have come upon an age of intransigence and an era of ingratitude. In it the good-doer is counted as an evil-doer and the unjust increases in his insolence.
35. The people may become brothers in wickedness and desert one another in religion, and [they may] love each other over falsehood and hate each other over the truth.
36. So fear Allah with the fearing of one whose body has become fatigued by fright, and who has been kept awake from his little sleep by his night worship, and who has been made thirsty in the heat of his days by hope [of attaining nearness to Allah].

36 فَاتَّقُوا اللّهَ تَقِيَّةَ مَنْ أنْصَبَ الخَوْفُ بَدَنَهُ، وأسْهَرَ التَّهَجُّدُ غِرارَ نَوْمِهِ، وأظْمَأَ الرَّجاءُ هَواجِرَ يَوْمِهِ.
37. How amazing it is; and why would I not be amazed by the mistake of this community (or these groups) with their different arguments with regards to their religion. They neither follow the footsteps of the Prophet nor do they emulate the actions of the vicegerent. They do not believe in the unseen and do not restrain themselves from [sins and] shortcomings. They act on uncertainties and tread in [the way of] their passions. For them good is whatever they [like and] consider good and evil is whatever they [dislike and] consider evil. Their reliance for resolving problems is on themselves and their confidence in regard to dubious matters is on their own opinions, as if each one of them is his own leader, even though he has formed his opinion without turning to reliable sources and strong proofs.

37 فَيا عَجَبا ومالِيَ لاأعْجَبُ مِنْ خَطاءِ هذِهِ الأُمَّةِ (الفِرَقِ) عَلَى اخْتِلافِ حُجَجِها في دِياناتِها (دينِها)، لايَقْتَصُّونَ أثَرَ نَبِىّ، ولايَقْتَدُونَ بِعَمِلِ وَصِىّ، ولايُؤْمِنُونَ بِغَيْب، ولايَعِفُّونَ عَنْ عَيْب، يَعْمَلُونَ فِي الشُّبَهاتِ، وَيَسيرُُونَ فِي الشَّهَواتِ، اَلْمَعْرُوفُ فيهِمْ ما عَرَفُوا، والمُنْكَرُ عِنْدَهُمْ ما أنْكَرُوا، مَفْزَعُهُمْ فِي المُعْضَلاتِ إلى أنْفُسِهمْ، وتَعْويلُهُمْ فِي المُبْهَماتِ عَلى آرائِهِمْ، كَأنَّ كُلاًّ (كُلُّ امْرئ) مِنْهُمْ إمامُ نَفْسِهِ، قَدْ أخَذَ فيما يَرى بِغَيْرِ وَثيقات بَيِّنات، وَلا أسْباب مُحْكَمات.
