قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا عُذَافِرُ إِنَّكَ تُعَامِلُ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ وَ الرَّبِيعَ فَمَا حَالُكَ إِذَا نُودِيَ بِكَ فِي أَعْوَانِ الظَّلَمَةِ قَالَ فَوَجَمَ أَبِي فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لَمَّا رَأَى مَا أَصَابَهُ أَيْ عُذَافِرُ إِنَّمَا خَوَّفْتُكَ بِمَا خَوَّفَنِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ فَقَدِمَ أَبِي فَلَمْ يَزَلْ مَغْمُوماً مَكْرُوباً حَتَّى مَاتَ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Muhammad Bin Uzafir, from his father who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Uzafir! You are dealing (co-operating) with Abu Ayoub and Al-Rabie, so what would your situation be when you are Called with among the supporters of the unjust ones?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘My father was dumbfounded. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to him when he<sup>asws</sup> saw what had hit him: ‘Yes, Uzafir! But rather, I<sup>asws</sup> have scared you with what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic has Scared me<sup>asws</sup> with’. Muhammad (the narrator) said, ‘My father went forth and he did not cease to be gloomy, distressed, until he died’.
