حدثنا محمد بن الحسن - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا أحمد بن إدريس، عن محمد ابن أحمد بن يحيى بن عمران الأشعري قال: حدثنا موسى بن عمران البغدادي، عن ابن سنان، عن عون بن معين بياع القلانس، عن عبد الله بن أبي يعفور، قال: سمعت الصادق جعفر ابن محمد عليهما السلام، يقول: من لقى الناس بوجه وغابهم بوجه جاء يوم القيامة وله لسانان من نار.

We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Ahmad bin Idrees, from Muhammed ibn Ahmad bin Yahya bin Imran al-Ash’ari, that he said: We were told by Musa bin Imran al-Baghdadi, from Ibn Sinan, from ‘Awn bin Mu’een, the Cap Seller, from Abdullah bin Abi Ya’four, that he said: I heard al-Sadiq, Ja’far ibn Muhammed, peace be upon them both, say: The one who meets people with one face and is absent from them with another face, will come at the Day of Resurrection whilst having two tongues of fire.
