شَهِدْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لِمَوْلًى لَهُ يُقَالُ لَهُ سَالِمٌ وَ وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى شَفَتَيْهِ وَ قَالَ يَا سَالِمُ احْفَظْ لِسَانَكَ تَسْلَمْ وَ لَا تَحْمِلِ النَّاسَ عَلَى رِقَابِنَا .


Translation

From him, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Ali Al Jawwany who said, ‘I witnessed Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and he<sup>asws</sup> was saying to a slave of his<sup>asws</sup> called Saalim, and he<sup>asws</sup> placed his<sup>asws</sup> hand upon his lips and said: ‘O Saalim! Preserve your tongue, you will be safe, and do not load the people upon our<sup>asws</sup> necks’.
