1. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadala ibn Ayyub from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from ‘Abd al-Wahid ibn al-Mukhtar who has that abu Ja‘far (a.s.) has said the following.
“Had there been a thing (zip) to contain (to sack) your tongues I would have spoken to everyone about what is for or against him.”
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) لَوْ كَانَ لالْسِنَتِكُمْ أَوْكِيَةٌ لَحَدَّثْتُ كُلَّ امْرِئٍ بِمَا لَهُ وَعَلَيْهِ.
