أَخْبَرَنِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَا ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ النَّاسُ أَهْلُ رِيَاءٍ غَيْرَكُمْ وَ ذَلِكُمْ أَنَّكُمْ أَخْفَيْتُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَظْهَرْتُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ النَّاسُ وَ النَّاسُ أَظْهَرُوا مَا يُسْخِطُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَخْفَوْا مَا يُحِبُّهُ اللَّهُ يَا ابْنَ مُسْلِمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى رَأَفَ بِكُمْ فَجَعَلَ الْمُتْعَةَ عِوَضاً لَكُمْ عَنِ الْأَشْرِبَةِ.
Translation
<a id="_Toc492473252">H 14581</a> – Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Asbaat who said, ‘Informed me, some of our companions, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Ja’far</span><sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Ibn Muslim, the people are show-offs apart from you, and that is what you have concealed what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Loves, and have displayed what the people love, whilst the people have displayed what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is Angered by, and concealed what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Loves. O Ibn Muslim, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Sympathised with you, so He<sup>azwj</sup> Made the Mut’a (Temporary marriage) (Permissible) instead of the (intoxicating) drinks’.
