لَمَّا قَدِمَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ أَقَامَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مَوْلًى لَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ إِذَا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فَاضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) نَظَرَ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَسَرَّ شَيْئاً فِيمَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ نَفْسِهِ لَا يَدْرِي مَا هُوَ ثُمَّ أَظْهَرَ يَا مَنْ يَكْفِي خَلْقَهُ كُلَّهُمْ وَ لَا يَكْفِيهِ أَحَدٌ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ فَصَارَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ لَا يُبْصِرُ مَوْلَاهُ وَ صَارَ مَوْلَاهُ لَا يُبْصِرُهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ يَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ لَقَدْ عَيَّيْتُكَ فِي هَذَا الْحَرِّ فَانْصَرِفْ فَخَرَجَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ لِمَوْلَاهُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ مَا أَمَرْتُكَ بِهِ فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا أَبْصَرْتُهُ وَ لَقَدْ جَاءَ شَيْءٌ فَحَالَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ وَ اللَّهِ لَئِنْ حَدَّثْتَ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أَحَداً لَأَقْتُلَنَّكَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Muyassar who said, ‘When Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> went over to Abu Ja’far (Al Mansour the Caliph), Abu Ja’far got a slave of his to stand (at a location) above his head and said to him, ‘When he<sup>asws</sup> comes over to me, so strike his<sup>asws</sup> neck off’. So when Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> looked at Abu Ja’far and secretly said something in what was between him and himself<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>. I do not know what it was. Then he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> manifested (saying loudly): ‘O the One Who Suffices His<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> creatures, all of them, and no one suffices Him<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>! Suffice me<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> from the evil of Abdullah Bin Ali’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So Abu Ja’far became such that he could not see his slave, and his slave became such and he could not see him<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>. So Abu Ja’far said, ‘O Ja’far Bin Muhammad<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>! I have exhausted you<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> in this heat, therefore leave’. So Abu Abdullah<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> came out from his presence and Abu Ja’far said to his slave, ‘What prevented you to do what I had ordered you with?’ So he said, ‘No, by Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>! I did not see him<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>, and something had come between me and him<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>’. So Abu Ja’far said to him, ‘By Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>! If you were to narrate with this narration to anyone, I will kill you’’.
