Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 257
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ مَزْيَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَيَّامَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَدِ اخْتَلَفَ هَؤُلَاءِ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَقَالَ دَعْ ذَا عَنْكَ إِنَّمَا يَجِيءُ فَسَادُ أَمْرِهِمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ بَدَا صَلَاحُهُمْ.
257. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Al-Mufazzal Bin Mazeed, who has narrated the following: I said to Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام, ‘The days of Abdullah Bin Ali, they (Abbasid rulers) disputed regarding what was in between them’. So he عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘You leave that. But rather, the spoiling of their command would come from where their success began’.
