قَالَ لِي أَ تَخْلُونَ وَ تَتَحَدَّثُونَ وَ تَقُولُونَ مَا شِئْتُمْ فَقُلْتُ إِي وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنَخْلُو وَ نَتَحَدَّثُ وَ نَقُولُ مَا شِئْنَا فَقَالَ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ لَوَدِدْتُ أَنِّي مَعَكُمْ فِي بَعْضِ تِلْكَ الْمَوَاطِنِ أَمَا وَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ رِيحَكُمْ وَ أَرْوَاحَكُمْ وَ إِنَّكُمْ عَلَى دِينِ اللَّهِ وَ دِينِ مَلَائِكَتِهِ فَأَعِينُوا بِوَرَعٍ وَ اجْتِهَادٍ .
Translation
From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Ibn Muskan, from Muyassar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said to me: ‘Are you isolating yourselves, and discussing and saying whatever you so desire to?’ So I said, ‘Yes, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! We do isolate ourselves, and we discuss, and we are saying whatever we so desire to’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I<sup>asws</sup> would love to be with you in one of those places. But, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, I<sup>asws</sup> loved your aromas, and your spirits, and you all are upon the Religion of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and the Religion of His<sup>azwj</sup> Angels, therefore Assist with piety and the striving’.
