نَزَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ يَا مَيْمُونُ مَنْ يَرْقُدُ مَعَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ أَ مَعَكَ غُلَامٌ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ فَلَا تَنَمْ وَحْدَكَ فَإِنَّ أَجْرَأَ مَا يَكُونُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Qaddah, from his father who said, ‘I lodged at Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, so he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Maymoun! Who would slumber along with you at night, is there a slave with you?’ I said, ‘No’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So do not sleep alone, for the most audacious that the Satan<sup>la</sup> can become, does so upon the human being when he was alone’.
