قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّا قَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فِي قَوْلِ يُوسُفَ ( عليه السلام ) أَيَّتُهَا الْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسارِقُونَ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا سَرَقُوا وَ مَا كَذَبَ وَ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ( عليه السلام ) بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هذا فَسْئَلُوهُمْ إِنْ كانُوا يَنْطِقُونَ فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا فَعَلُوا وَ مَا كَذَبَ قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا عِنْدَكُمْ فِيهَا يَا صَيْقَلُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا عِنْدَنَا فِيهَا إِلَّا التَّسْلِيمُ قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَحَبَّ اثْنَيْنِ وَ أَبْغَضَ اثْنَيْنِ أَحَبَّ الْخَطَرَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَّيْنِ وَ أَحَبَّ الْكَذِبَ فِي الْإِصْلَاحِ وَ أَبْغَضَ الْخَطَرَ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ وَ أَبْغَضَ الْكَذِبَ فِي غَيْرِ الْإِصْلَاحِ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّمَا قَالَ بَلْ فَعَلَهُ كَبِيرُهُمْ هذا إِرَادَةَ الْإِصْلَاحِ وَ دَلَالَةً عَلَى أَنَّهُمْ لَا يَفْعَلُونَ وَ قَالَ يُوسُفُ ( عليه السلام ) إِرَادَةَ الْإِصْلَاحِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Hammad Bin Usman, from Al Hassan Al Sayqal who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘We have been reporting from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> regarding the words of Yusuf<sup>as</sup> <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:12#h70"><a href="/books/quran:12#h70">[12:70]</a></a> O caravan! You are stealing</span>’, and he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! They were not stealing and he<sup>as</sup> did not lie (either). And Ibrahim<sup>as</sup> said: ‘<span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:21#h63"><a href="/books/quran:21#h63">[21:63]</a></a> But (has) the chief of them has done this, therefore ask them, if they can speak</span>. By Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! They (idols) had not done it, and he<sup>as</sup> did not lie’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘What is with you all regarding it, O Sayqal?’ So I said, ‘There is nothing with us except for the submission’. So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Loves two (things) and hates two. He<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Loves the danger in what is between the two swords and Loves the lie regarding the reconciliation; and Hates the danger in the roads and Hates the lie regarding other than the reconciliation. Ibrahim<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup>, rather, said: ‘<span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:21#h63"><a href="/books/quran:21#h63">[21:63]</a></a> But (has) the chief of them has done this</span>, intending the reconciliation, and evidenced upon that they had not done it; and Yusuf<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> intended the reconciliation’.
