1. [1/181] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Qulawayh from Sa`d from Ahmad b. Muhammad from al-Husayn b. Sa`id from Muammar b. Khallad who said
Abu al-Hasan عليه السلام said: two ravenous wolves set free in a flock of sheep whose shepherd is absent are not more dangerous to a man’s religion than his love for leadership [desire to rule over others], then he said: but Safwan (b. Yahya) does not love leadership.

قال أبو الحسن عليه السلام: ما ذئبان ضاريان في غنم قد غاب عنها رعاؤها بأضر في دين المسلم من حب الرياسة ثم قال: لكن صفوان لا يحب الرياسة
