1. We were told by Muhammed bin Musa bin Mutawakkil, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Abdullah bin Ja’far al-Himyari, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hasan bin Mahboub, from Abdul-Rahman bin Sayaba, from al-Sadiq, Ja’far bin Muhammed, peace be upon them both, that he said: Indeed, it is from backbiting that you say about your brother that which Allah has concealed upon him, and indeed, it is from slander that you say about your brother that which is not in him.
IsnādMuhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil a rapporté: Nous a informés Abdullah ibn Ja'far al-Humayri, d'Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, de al-Hasan ibn Mahbub, d'Abd al-Rahman ibn Siyaba, de l'Imam as-Sadiq Ja'far ibn Muhammad, que la paix soit sur eux, a dit:
Certes, parmi la médisance, il y a le fait de dire sur ton frère ce qu'Allah a dissimulé en lui, et certes, la calomnie est de dire sur ton frère ce qui n'est pas en lui.
