6 - قال: أخبرني أبو الحسن أحمد بن محمد بن الحسن، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن يونس بن عبد الرحمن، عن محمد بن ياسين قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام يقول: ما ينفع العبد يظهر حسنا ويسر سيئا، أليس إذا رجع إلى نفسه علم أنه ليس كذلك، والله تعالى يقول: " بل الإنسان على نفسه بصيرة "، إن السريرة إذا صلحت قويت العلانية. وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد النبي الأمي وآله الطاهرين وسلم تسليما.
6. He said: Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan reported to me from his father, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from Yunus ibn Abdul Rahman, from Muhammad ibn Yaseen, who said: I heard Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon both, say: "No benefit is derived by a slave of Allah who makes a show of being good, while inwardly he is vicious and evil. Does his inner self not tell him that he is not what he pretends to be? And (also), Allah, Most High, says (in the Qu’ran): ’Rather, man has a keen insight of himself’ (75:14). Surely, when the inner self of a person is reformed, his external self gains strength." May Allah bless our master Muhammad, the Prophet of Makkan origin and upon his pure progeny, and salutations.
