[Machine] I used to read to my father until I reached this verse: "Say, shall we inform you who will be the greatest losers in their deeds?" [Surah Al-Kahf: 103]. I said, "O my father, are they the Khawarij?" He replied, "No, my son, read the verse that comes after it: 'Those are the ones who disbelieve in the verses of their Lord and in their meeting Him, so their deeds have become worthless, and We will not assign to them on the Day of Resurrection any importance.'" [Surah Al-Kahf: 105]. He said, "They are the Christians who exert themselves to disbelieve in the signs of their Lord with Muhammad and to deny his meeting." And they said, "There is no food in Paradise, nor drink, but the Khawarij are the transgressors who break the covenant of Allah after its binding and cut off what Allah has commanded to be joined, and they cause corruption on the earth. Those are the losers."
كُنْتُ أَقْرَأُ عَلَى أَبِي حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغْتُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {قُلْ هَلْ نُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِالْأَخْسَرِينَ أَعْمَالًا} [الكهف 103] الْآيَةُ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَتَاهُ أَهُمُ الْخَوَارِجُ؟ قَالَ لَا يَا بُنَيَّ اقْرَأِ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا {أُولَئِكَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ وَلِقَائِهِ فَحَبِطَتْ أَعْمَالُهُمْ فَلَا نُقِيمُ لَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَزْنًا} [الكهف 105] قَالَ «هُمُ الْمُجْتَهِدُونَ مِنَ النَّصَارَى كَانَ كُفْرُهُمْ بِآيَاتِ رَبِّهِمْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَلِقَائِهِ» وَقَالُوا لَيْسَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ طَعَامٌ وَلَا شَرَابٌ وَلَكِنَّ الْخَوَارِجَ هُمُ الْفَاسِقُونَ الَّذِينَ يَنْقُضُونَ عَهْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ مِيثَاقِهِ وَيَقْطَعُونَ مَا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِهِ أَنْ يُوصَلَ وَيُفْسِدُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ
