كَانَ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا يُلَقَّبُ شَلَقَانَ وَ كَانَ قَدْ صَيَّرَهُ فِي نَفَقَتِهِ وَ كَانَ سَيِّئَ الْخُلُقِ فَهَجَرَهُ فَقَالَ لِي يَوْماً يَا مُرَازِمُ وَ تُكَلِّمُ عِيسَى فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ أَصَبْتَ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْمُهَاجَرَةِ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from his uncle Murazim Bin Hakeem who said, ‘It was so that in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> was a man from our companions titled as Shalqaan, and he<sup>asws</sup> had made him to be in charge regarding his<sup>asws</sup> finances, and he was of the evil manners, but he had deserted him<sup>asws</sup>. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me one day: ‘O murazim, and do you speak to Isa (Shalqaan)?’ So I said, ‘Yes’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘You are correct. There is no goodness in the desertion’.
