سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ التَّقِيَّةُ تُرْسُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ التَّقِيَّةُ حِرْزُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَ لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا تَقِيَّةَ لَهُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَقَعُ إِلَيْهِ الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ حَدِيثِنَا فَيَدِينُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَهُ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ عِزّاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ نُوراً فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَقَعُ إِلَيْهِ الْحَدِيثُ مِنْ حَدِيثِنَا فَيُذِيعُهُ فَيَكُونُ لَهُ ذُلًّا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ يَنْزِعُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ مِنْهُ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from Ibn Muskan, from Abdullah Bin Abu Yafour who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The dissimulation (<span class="iTxt">Taqiyya</span>) is a shield of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, and the dissimulation (<span class="iTxt">Taqiyya</span>) is a protection of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>; and there is no <span class="iTxt">Emān</span> for the one who has no dissimulation (<span class="iTxt">Taqiyya</span>) for him. The servant to whom comes the Hadeeth from our<sup>asws</sup> Ahadeeth, so he makes it a Religion of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic with it, in what is between him and Him<sup>azwj</sup>, so there happens to be honour for him in the world and a light in the Hereafter; and the servant to whom comes the Hadeeth from our<sup>asws</sup> Ahadeeth, but he broadcasts it, so there happens to be disgrace for him in the world, and Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Removes that light from him’.
