اجْتَمَعَ الْحَوَارِيُّونَ إِلَى عِيسَى ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالُوا لَهُ يَا مُعَلِّمَ الْخَيْرِ أَرْشِدْنَا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ إِنَّ مُوسَى كَلِيمَ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَرَكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَحْلِفُوا بِاللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى كَاذِبِينَ وَ أَنَا آمُرُكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَحْلِفُوا بِاللَّهِ كَاذِبِينَ وَ لَا صَادِقِينَ قَالُوا يَا رُوحَ اللَّهِ زِدْنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ مُوسَى نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَمَرَكُمْ أَنْ لَا تَزْنُوا وَ أَنَا آمُرُكُمْ أَنْ لَا تُحَدِّثُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ بِالزِّنَا فَضْلًا عَنْ أَنْ تَزْنُوا فَإِنَّ مَنْ حَدَّثَ نَفْسَهُ بِالزِّنَا كَانَ كَمَنْ أَوْقَدَ فِي بَيْتٍ مُزَوَّقٍ فَأَفْسَدَ التَّزَاوِيقَ الدُّخَانُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَحْتَرِقِ الْبَيْتُ.


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abu Al Abbas Al Kufy, altogether from Amro Bin Usman, from Abdullah Bin Sinan, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The disciples gathered to Isa<sup>as</sup>, so they said to him<sup>as</sup>, ‘O good teacher, Guide us! So he<sup>as</sup> said to them: ‘Musa<sup>as</sup> the Speaker with Allah<sup>azwj</sup> had ordered you all not to falsely swear oaths with Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High, and I<sup>as</sup> am ordering you all not to swear with Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, falsely nor truthfully’. They said, ‘O Spirit of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, increase it for us’. So he<sup>as</sup> said: ‘Musa<sup>as</sup> the Prophet<sup>as</sup> of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> ordered you all that you shall not commit adultery, and I<sup>as</sup> am ordering you that should not speak to your souls about the adultery, not to speak of committing adultery, for the one who discusses with himself with the adultery, so he would be like the one who ignites in a decorated house, so the smoke spoils the decoration even if it does not burn down the house’.
