Arabic text

[14/169] رجال الكشي: حمدويه، عن محمد بن عيسى، عن ابن أبي عمير، عن هشام بن سالم، عن محمد بن حمران، عن الوليد بن صبيح قال: دخلت على أبي عبد الله عليه السلام فاستقبلني زرارة خارجا من عنده، فقال لي أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: يا وليد أما تعجب من زرارة؟ يسألني عن أعمال هؤلاء أي شي‏ء كان يريد أيريد أن أقول له لا فيروي ذلك عني ثم قال: يا وليد متى كانت الشيعة تسأل عن أعمالهم؟ إنما كانت الشيعة تقول من أكل من طعامهم و شرب من شرابهم و استظل بظلهم، متى كانت الشيعة تسأل عن مثل هذا!

Translation

14. [14/169] Rijal al-Kashshi: Hamduwayh from Muhammad b. Isa from Ibn Abi Umayr from Hisham b. Salim from Muhammad b. Humran from al-Walid b. Sabih who said: I entered to meet Abi Abdillah عليه السلام and found Zurara exiting the place. Abu Abdillah عليه السلام said to me: O Walid, don’t you wonder at Zurara? he asks me about [the permissibility of] working for them [the usurping rulers], what did he want? did he want me to say: no [it is not acceptable] so that he can narrate this on my authority? then he reiterated again: O Walid, when did the Shia ever ask about working for them? Rather the Shia used to ask about the permissibility of eating their food, and drinking their drinks, and shading themselves in their shade [living with them], when did the Shia ever ask about that [which Zurara asks]!
