سَأَلَنِي شِهَابُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ أَنْ أَسْتَأْذِنَ لَهُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَعْلَمْتُ ذَلِكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ قُلْ لَهُ يَأْتِينَا إِذَا شَاءَ فَأَدْخَلْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ لَيْلًا وَ شِهَابٌ مُقَنَّعُ الرَّأْسِ فَطُرِحَتْ لَهُ وِسَادَةٌ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَلْقِ قِنَاعَكَ يَا شِهَابُ فَإِنَّ الْقِنَاعَ رِيبَةٌ بِاللَّيْلِ مَذَلَّةٌ بِالنَّهَارِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, and a number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Abbas Bin Al Waleed Bin Sabeeh who said, ‘Shihab Bin Abd Rabih asked me that I should seek permission for him to (see) Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>. So I let Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> know about that, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Tell him he can come to us<sup>asws</sup> whenever he so desires to’. So I took him over to him<sup>asws</sup> one night, and Shihab wore a covering of the head. I placed a cushion for him, so he sat over it and Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Remove you veil O Shihab, for the veil casts a doubt during the night and is a disgrace during the day’.
