[1/184] الكافي: علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه ; ومحمد بن إسماعيل، عن الفضل بن شاذان جميعا عن ابن أبي عمير، عن عمر بن اذينة، عن زرارة قال: كنت قاعدا إلى جنب أبي جعفر عليه السلام وهو محتب مستقبل الكعبة، فقال: أما إن النظر إليها عبادة فجاءه رجل من بجيلة يقال له: عاصم بن عمر فقال لابي جعفر عليه السلام: إن كعب الاحبار كان يقول: إن الكعبة تسجد لبيت المقدس في كل غداة، فقال أبوجعفر عليه السلام: فما تقول فيما قال كعب؟ فقال: صدق، القول ما قال كعب فقال أبوجعفر عليه السلام: كذبت وكذب كعب الاحبار معك وغضب ; قال زرارة مارأيته استقبل أحدا بقول كذبت غيره …

Translation

1. [1/184] al-Kafi: Ali b. Ibrahim from his father and Muhammad b. Ismail from al-Fadhl b. Shadhan all together from Ibn Abi Umayr from Umar b. Udhayna from Zurara who said: I was seated at the side of Abi Ja`far عليه السلام who was seated with his legs drawn up to the belly [enfolding them with his hands] while facing the Ka`ba when he [the Imam] said: looking at it [the Ka`ba] is a form of worship. Then a man from Bajila called A`sim b. Umar came to him and said: Ka`b al-Ahbar used to say: the Ka`ba prostrates to Bayt al-Maqdis every morning, Abu Ja`far عليه السلام said: what is your opinion about what Ka`b said? He [A`sim] said: he spoke the truth – it is as Ka`b said, so Abu Ja`far عليه السلام said: you have lied and Ka`b al-Ahbar has lied with you, and he became angry, Zurara said: I had never seen him saying to someone ‘you have lied’ to his face other than to him [i.e. A`sim] …
