إِنْ كَانَ فِي يَدِكَ هَذِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لَا تَعْلَمَ هَذِهِ فَافْعَلْ قَالَ وَ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ إِنْسَانٌ فَتَذَاكَرُوا الْإِذَاعَةَ فَقَالَ احْفَظْ لِسَانَكَ تُعَزَّ وَ لَا تُمَكِّنِ النَّاسَ مِنْ قِيَادِ رَقَبَتِكَ فَتَذِلَّ .


Translation

From him, from Usman Bin Isa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘If it was so that this matter (Al-Wilayah) was in your hands and you have the capacity that you do not teach this, then do so’. He (the narrator) said, ‘And it was so that in his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> presence were some people, and they mentioned the broadcasting, so he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘Preserve your tongues, you would be honoured, and do not enable the people to sit upon your necks, for you would be disgraced’.
