سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِيَّاكُمْ أَنْ تَعْمَلُوا عَمَلًا يُعَيِّرُونَّا بِهِ فَإِنَّ وَلَدَ السَّوْءِ يُعَيَّرُ وَالِدُهُ بِعَمَلِهِ كُونُوا لِمَنِ انْقَطَعْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ زَيْناً وَ لَا تَكُونُوا عَلَيْهِ شَيْناً صَلُّوا فِي عَشَائِرِهِمْ وَ عُودُوا مَرْضَاهُمْ وَ اشْهَدُوا جَنَائِزَهُمْ وَ لَا يَسْبِقُونَكُمْ إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فَأَنْتُمْ أَوْلَى بِهِ مِنْهُمْ وَ اللَّهِ مَا عُبِدَ اللَّهُ بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَبْءِ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الْخَبْءُ قَالَ التَّقِيَّةُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Hisham Al Kindy who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Beware of doing a deed we<sup>asws</sup> would be faulted with, for the evil child shames his father with his deed. Become an adornment for the one you cut yourselves off to and do not become a disgrace upon him. Help out among their clan, and console their sick ones, and attend their funerals, and do not let them precede you to the goodness, for you all are closer with it than them, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has not been worshipped with anything more Beloved to Him<sup>azwj</sup> that <span class="iTxt">Al-Khab</span>’. I said, ‘And what is <span class="iTxt">Al-Khab</span>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The dissimulation (<span class="iTxt">Taqiyya</span>)’.
