21 - قال: حدثنا أبي، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد اليقطيني، عن الحسن بن محمد بن بشار، قال: حدثني شيخ من أهل قطيعة الربيع من العامة، ممن كان يقبل قوله، قال: قال لي: قد رأيت بعض من يقرون بفضله من أهل هذا البيت، فما رأيت مثله قط في نسكه وفضله. قال: قلت: من؟ وكيف رأيته؟ قال: جمعنا أيام السندي بن شاهك ثمانين رجلا من الوجوه، ممن ينسب إلى الخير، فأدخلنا إلى موسى بن جعفر (عليهما السلام)، فقال لنا السندي: يا هؤلاء، انظروا إلى هذا الرجل هل حدث به حدث، فإن الناس يزعمون أنه قد فعل به مكروه، ويكثرون في ذلك، وهذا منزله وفرشه، موسع عليه غير مضيق، ولم يرد به أمير المؤمنين سوءا، وإنما ينتظره أن يقدم فيناظره أمير المؤمنين، وها هو ذا صحيح موسع عليه في جميع أمره، فسلوه، قال: ونحن ليس لنا هم إلا النظر إلى الرجل وإلى فضله وسمته. فقال: أما ما ذكر من التوسعة وما أشبه ذلك، فهو على ما ذكر، غير أني أخبركم أيها النفر، أني قد سقيت السم في تسع تمرات، وإني أحضر (2) غدا، وبعد غد أموت، قال: فنظرت إلى السندي بن شاهك يرتعد ويضطرب مثل السعفة. قال: الحسن، وكان هذا الشيخ من خيار العامة، شيخ صدوق، مقبول القول، ثقة جدا عند الناس (3).
He said: My father narrated to me from Sa`d b. `Abdullah from Muhammad b. `Isa b. `Ubayd al-Yaqtini from al-Hasan b. Muhammad b. Bashar. He said: An `ammi shaykh from Qati`atul Rabi`, whose words were accepted, narrated to me that he had seen people declare the virtue of a man from the People of this House. [He said:] I have never seen anyone as ascetic and as virtuous as him. He said: I said: Who? How did you see him? He said: One day, eighty of us – men of renown and goodness – gathered to al-Sindi b. Shahik, and we visited Musa b. Ja`far (as). So, a-Sindi said to us: O you! Look to this man – has anything happened to him? For surely, the people allege that he has been treated wrongly, and they make much ado about that. This is his house and his furnishings; it is expansive for him and not narrow. The commander of the faithful does not want any harm to come to him. Surely, he is only waiting for him to come and for the commander of the faithful to converse with him. Here he is, he is healthy, and all his affairs are widely available to him. He said: We had no concerns, so we only looked to the man and to his virtue and his character. Then, he said: As for what he mentioned regarding the wideness [of available things] and its like, then it is as he has mentioned. Except, I will inform you, O people, that I was fed poison in nine dates, and that I will turn green tomorrow, and that after tomorrow I will die. He said: So, I looked to al-Sindi b. Shahik, and he was shuddering and shaking like a ringworm. Al-Hasan said: This shaykh was from the best of the `amma. He was trustworthy, and his words were accepted. He was trusted very much by the people.
