كُنْتُ قَاعِداً عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) عَلَى بَابِ دَارِهِ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى النَّاسِ يَمُرُّونَ أَفْوَاجاً فَقَالَ لِبَعْضِ مَنْ عِنْدَهُ حَدَثَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَمْرٌ فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وُلِّيَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالٍ فَغَدَا النَّاسُ يُهَنِّئُونَهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيُغْدَى عَلَيْهِ بِالْأَمْرِ تَهَنَّأَ بِهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَبَابٌ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ النَّارِ .
Translation
Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said, ‘I was seated in the presence of Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> at the door of his<sup>asws</sup> house at Al-Medina, so he<sup>asws</sup> looked at the people passing by in droves. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to someone in his<sup>asws</sup> presence: ‘Has an event occurred in Al-Medina?’ So he said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! A (new) governor has been appointed, so the people are attending lunch to welcome him’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘The man is feeding for a matter to be congratulated by, and he is at the door from doors of the Fire’.
