Imam Ali (AS) said: Then, look at the end of them (those with dignity, honour and power)! When they turned towards disunity and separation, and their kindness and friendship disappeared, and their words and hearts varied, they separated from each other, they joined parties and groups. Allah (SWT) took the Divine clothes of dignity off their bodies, and took back sweet abundant blessings from them, and their stories remained as warning lessons among you [1].
