لَا تَسْفَهُوا فَإِنَّ أَئِمَّتَكُمْ لَيْسُوا بِسُفَهَاءَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَنْ كَافَأَ السَّفِيهَ بِالسَّفَهِ فَقَدْ رَضِيَ بِمَا أَتَى إِلَيْهِ حَيْثُ احْتَذَى مِثَالَهُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from one of his companions, from Abu Al Magra, from Al Halby, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Do not be foolish for your Imams<sup>asws</sup> were not foolish ones’. And Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘The one who matches the foolishness with the foolishness, so he has been pleased with what came to him when he behaved similar to him’.
