Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3604 — Surah al-A'raf

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "We have heard this saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: "Indeed, those who took the calf (for worship) will be reached by wrath from their Lord and humiliation in the life of this world, and thus do We recompense the inventors of falsehood" [Surah al-A'raf: 152]." He (further) said: "And I see nothing else about these people except that they too have invented a great lie, and my belief is that this (threat) will soon reach them as well." The narrator mentioned this in the course of his talk.
This report is a narration from the Musnad of Ishaq bin Rahwayh. It contains a severe warning for those who invent lies and introduce innovations, that the wrath of Allah and humiliation may reach them even in this world.
