قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ سَبَّابَةٍ لِعَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي حَلَالُ الدَّمِ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ لَا أَنْ تَعُمَّ بِهِ بَرِيئاً قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَمَا تَقُولُ فِي رَجُلٍ مُؤْذٍ لَنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ فِيمَا ذَا قُلْتُ مُؤْذِينَا فِيكَ بِذِكْرِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي لَهُ فِي عَلِيٍّ ( عليه السلام ) نَصِيبٌ قُلْتُ إِنَّهُ لَيَقُولُ ذَاكَ وَ يُظْهِرُهُ قَالَ لَا تَعَرَّضْ لَهُ .
Translation
And from him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hisham Bin Salim who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding a man who pointed a finger at Ali<sup>asws</sup> (used foul language)?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘The blood is Permissible, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, if it is not permeated by presumed innocence’. So I said, ‘So what are you<sup>asws</sup> saying regarding a man who is hurting us?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘With regards to what?’ I said, ‘He is hurting us regarding you<sup>asws</sup>, by mentioning you<sup>asws</sup> (in derogatory terms)?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Is there a share for him with regards to Ali<sup>asws</sup>?’ I said, ‘He is saying that and manifesting it’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Do not meddle with him’.
