5 - وبالإسناد الأول عن علي بن مهزيار، عن علي بن حديد، عن علي ابن النعمان، عن إسحاق بن عمار، عن أبي النعمان العجلي قال: قال أبو جعفر محمد بن علي صلوات الله عليهما: يا أبا النعمان لا تحققن علينا كذبا فتسلب الحنيفية ، يا أبا النعمان لا تستأكل بنا الناس فلا يزيدك الله بذلك إلا فقرا . يا أبا النعمان لا ترأس فتكون ذنبا ، يا أبا النعمان إنك موقوف ومسئول لا محالة، فإن صدقت صدقناك، وإن كذبت كذبناك. يا أبا النعمان لا يغرك الناس عن نفسك فإن الأمر يصل إليك دونهم، ولا تقطعن نهارك بكذا وكذا فإن معك من يحفظ عليك، وأحسن فلم أر شيئا أسرع دركا ولا أشد طلبا من حسنة لذنب قديم .
5. And with the preceding chains of narration, from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar, from ‘Ali ibn Hadeed, from ‘Ali ibn Nu’man, from Ishaq ibn Ammar, from Abu al-Nu’man al-Ajali, who said: Abu Ja’far Muhammad ibn ‘Ali, peace be upon them both, told me, "O Abu Nu’man, do not support the lies and allegation against us, for that will distract you from the Straight Path; and do not devour people’s wealth by using our name, for that will earn you nothing but poverty. O Abu Nu’man, do not push yourself hard to be a head (i.e. leader), for you may end up being a tail (i.e. following the people rather then leading them). O Abu Nu’man, you will surely be stopped and asked, and there is no escape from that! If you remain truthful, we will confirm your truthfulness; and if you lie, we will confirm that you are a liar. O Abu Nu’man, let not people delude you, for that which is your fate, shall reach you in spite of them! And do not let the days prevent you from this and that for with you there is One Who protects you. Do good deeds, for I have not seen any quicker expiation in pursuit of the old sin, than a good deed."
