Al-Kafi 14039

Translation

Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa who said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan^asws saying: ‘In the era of Ja’far^asws Bin Muhammad^asws, a man insulted Rasool-Allah^saww. So they came with him to the governor of Al-Medina, and the people gathered. And it was near to the time of his^asws illness, and upon him^asws was a robe of his^asws, wrapped around him^asws. So they got him^asws to be seated in the centre of the gathering and permitted him^asws regarding the reclining, and (the governor) said to them, ‘What are your views?’ So Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan, and Al-Hassan Bin Zayd, and others said to him, ‘We view that his tongue should be cut’. So the governor turned towards Rabi’e Al-Rai’y and his companions, so he said, ‘What is your view?’ So he said, ‘He should be disciplined’. So, Abu Abdullah^asws said to him: ‘Glory be to Allah^azwj! So there is no difference between Rasool-Allah^saww and his^saww companions?’
