مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هَارُونَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ قَالَ لِنَفَرٍ عِنْدَهُ وَ أَنَا حَاضِرٌ مَا لَكُمْ تَسْتَخِفُّونَ بِنَا قَالَ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ فَقَالَ مَعَاذٌ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ أَنْ نَسْتَخِفَّ بِكَ أَوْ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ فَقَالَ بَلَى إِنَّكَ أَحَدُ مَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِي فَقَالَ مَعَاذٌ لِوَجْهِ اللَّهِ أَنْ أَسْتَخِفَّ بِكَ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَيْحَكَ أَ وَ لَمْ تَسْمَعْ فُلَاناً وَ نَحْنُ بِقُرْبِ الْجُحْفَةِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَكَ احْمِلْنِي قَدْرَ مِيلٍ فَقَدْ وَ اللَّهِ أَعْيَيْتُ وَ اللَّهِ مَا رَفَعْتَ بِهِ رَأْساً وَ لَقَدِ اسْتَخْفَفْتَ بِهِ وَ مَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِمُؤْمِنٍ فِينَا اسْتَخَفَّ وَ ضَيَّعَ حُرْمَةَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
73. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Husayn, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Yazi’e, from Saleh Bin Uqba, from Abu Haroun, who has said: Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام having said to a number (of people) who were in his عليه الصلاة والسلام presence and I was present: ‘What is the matter with you all that you take us عليه الصلاة والسلام lightly?’ A man from Khurasan stood up and said, ‘Allah عز وجل Forbid that we should take you عليه الصلاة والسلام or any of your عليه الصلاة والسلام commands lightly’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said: ‘Yes, you are one of those who take me عليه الصلاة والسلام lightly’. He said, ‘Allah عز وجل Forbid that I should take you عليه الصلاة والسلام lightly’. He عليه الصلاة والسلام said to him: ‘Woe be unto you, or did you not hear so and so, and we were near Al-Juhfa, and he was saying to you, ‘Give me a ride for about a mile, for By Allah عز وجل, I have become (very) tired’? By Allah عز وجل, you did not even raise your head and took him lightly by it, and the one who takes one who Believes in us عليه الصلاة والسلام lightly, has taken lightly and wasted the Sanctity of Allah عز وجل Mighty and Majestic’.
