Abstract
Satisfaction and dissatisfaction could be considered as a
mean to measure the unity of fate, and it may be applied in Al-
Taff society in particular, for this community has the standards
of such a measure. If people were satisfied with a particular
action - even in case that achievement was accomplished
by one of them – then they all would be considered as the
doers of such a deed. The same thing could be said about
the dissatisfaction about some action else. Hence, the she–
camel in the account of Tamood’s nation gives a brilliant
sample of this kind. This animal was slaughtered by only one
person, but Tamood’s folk were all punished and suffered
from the heavenly torture because they showed satisfaction
towards that act, and Allah, the Almighty said in that case:''
they, slaughtered it and they were rendered regretful".
There is a universal Sunna tradition, that if an action is done
by a community member then this action will be attributed to
his society in general and to the next generations to which he
belongs, that if these generations will continue to advocate
these positive, negative or criminal mind.
Taking into the account “Imam Ali’s proverb, ‘Oh , people,
a nation can gather the satisfaction and the dissatisfaction at
one time’ ” renders a good example of this duality. Similarly, the
words of his son, Imam Hussein ( p. b. u. h ) can be studied in
accordance with the standards of sociolinguistics to present
