سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ أَعْمَالِهِمْ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ لَا وَ لَا مَدَّةَ قَلَمٍ إِنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ لَا يُصِيبُ مِنْ دُنْيَاهُمْ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَصَابُوا مِنْ دِينِهِ مِثْلَهُ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى يُصِيبُوا مِنْ دِينِهِ مِثْلَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> about being their (Clan of Umayya’s) office bearers, so he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Abu Muhammad! No, and not (even) for a circumflex (a mark on a letter like <span class="iTxt">Fatah</span>, <span class="iTxt">Kisra</span> etc.) of a pen. One of you would not attain anything from their world except he would lose from his Religion similar to it’, or said: ‘Until he loses from his Religion, similar to it’.
