قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فُلَانٌ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ فُلَانٌ وَ فُلَانٌ فَقَالَ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ قُلْتُ يَسْأَلُونَكَ الدُّعَاءَ فَقَالَ وَ مَا لَهُمْ قُلْتُ حَبَسَهُمْ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ فَقَالَ وَ مَا لَهُمْ وَ مَا لَهُ قُلْتُ اسْتَعْمَلَهُمْ فَحَبَسَهُمْ فَقَالَ وَ مَا لَهُمْ وَ مَا لَهُ أَ لَمْ أَنْهَهُمْ أَ لَمْ أَنْهَهُمْ أَ لَمْ أَنْهَهُمْ هُمُ النَّارُ هُمُ النَّارُ هُمُ النَّارُ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اخْدَعْ عَنْهُمْ سُلْطَانَهُمْ قَالَ فَانْصَرَفْتُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُمْ فَإِذَا هُمْ قَدْ أُخْرِجُوا بَعْدَ هَذَا الْكَلَامِ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Yahya Bin Ibrahim Bin Muhajir who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So and so conveys the greetings, and so and so, and so and so’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And the greetings be upon them’. I said, ‘They are asking you<sup>asws</sup> for the supplication’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And what is the matter with them?’ I said, ‘Abu Ja’far (Mansour the Caliph) has imprisoned them’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And what is it with them and him?’ I said, ‘He employed them, and he imprisoned them’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And what is it with them and him? Did I<sup>asws</sup> not forbid them? Did I<sup>asws</sup> not forbid them? Did I<sup>asws</sup> not forbid them? Torment of the Fire! Torment of the Fire! Torment of the Fire!’ He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Decieve their Sultan (ruling authority) from them!’ So I left from Makkah. I asked around about them, so they had come out (of the prison) three days after that speech’.
