قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا مُعَلَّى اكْتُمْ أَمْرَنَا وَ لَا تُذِعْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ كَتَمَ أَمْرَنَا وَ لَمْ يُذِعْهُ أَعَزَّهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ جَعَلَهُ نُوراً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ يَقُودُهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ يَا مُعَلَّى مَنْ أَذَاعَ أَمْرَنَا وَ لَمْ يَكْتُمْهُ أَذَلَّهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ نَزَعَ النُّورَ مِنْ بَيْنِ عَيْنَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ جَعَلَهُ ظُلْمَةً تَقُودُهُ إِلَى النَّارِ يَا مُعَلَّى إِنَّ التَّقِيَّةَ مِنْ دِينِي وَ دِينِ آبَائِي وَ لَا دِينَ لِمَنْ لَا تَقِيَّةَ لَهُ يَا مُعَلَّى إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي السِّرِّ كَمَا يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي الْعَلَانِيَةِ يَا مُعَلَّى إِنَّ الْمُذِيعَ لِأَمْرِنَا كَالْجَاحِدِ لَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Abdullah Bin Yahya, from Hareyz, from Moalla Bin Khunays who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Moalla! Conceal our<sup>asws</sup> matter and do not broadcast it, for the one who conceals our<sup>asws</sup> matter and does not broadcast would be Honoured by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> in the world due to it, and He<sup>azwj</sup> would Make a light to be in between his eyes in the Hereafter, guiding him to the Paradise. O Moalla! The one who broadcasts our<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> matter and does not conceal it, Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> would Humiliate him in the world due to it, and Remove the light from in between his eyes in the Hereafter, and Make a darkness to be for him, guiding him to the Fire. O Moalla! The dissimulation is from my<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> Religion and the Religion of my<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> forefathers<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>; and there is no Religion for the one who has no dissimulation (<span class="iTxt">Taqiyya</span>) for him. O Moalla! Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Loves to be worshipped in the privacy just as He<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Loves to be worshipped openly. O Moalla! The broadcaster of our<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> matter is like the rejector of it’.
