John Shaqi

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ أَ تَرَى لَا أَعْرِفُ خِيَارَكُمْ مِنْ شِرَارِكُمْ بَلَى وَ اللَّهِ وَ إِنَّ شِرَارَكُمْ مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يُوطَأَ عَقِبُهُ إِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ كَذَّابٍ أَوْ عَاجِزِ الرَّأْيِ .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Do you view that I<sup>asws</sup> do not recognise your good ones from your evils ones? Yes, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup> (I<sup>asws</sup> do), and the most evils ones of you is the one who loves to be followed. It is inevitable that he would be from the liars, or one frustrated from the opinion’.
