1. We were told by Muhammed bin Ali Majilawayh, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: I was told by my paternal uncle, Muhammed bin Abi’l-Qasim, from Muhammed bin Ali al-Kufi, that he said: I was told by Musa bin Sa’dan, the Wheat Seller, from Abdullah bin Qasim, from Abdullah bin Maskan, from Muhammed bin Muslim, that he said: I asked Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, about the saying of Allah, Exalted and Glorious is He: «He knows the secret and what is more hidden» (20:7). He said: The secret is what you conceal in yourself, and what is more hidden is what comes to your mind and then which you forget.
IsnādMuhammad ibn Ali Majilouyeh nous a informés - qu'Allah lui fasse miséricorde - en disant: Mon oncle Muhammad ibn Abi al-Qasim m'a informé, de la part de Muhammad ibn Ali al-Kufi, qui a dit: Moïse ibn Sa'dan al-Hanati m'a informé, de la part d'Abdullah ibn al-Qasim, de la part d'Abdullah ibn Maskan, de la part de Muhammad ibn Muslim, qui a dit: J'ai interrogé Abu Abdullah - sur lui la paix - au sujet de la parole d'Allah, exalté soit-Il: "Il connaît le secret et ce qui est encore plus caché." Il a dit: Le secret est ce que tu gardes en toi-même, et ce qui est encore plus caché est ce qui te traverse l'esprit puis tu oublies.
