11ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لَوْ عَلِمَ النَّاسُ مَا فِي الْقَوْلِ بِالْبَدَاءِ مِنَ الاجْرِ مَا فَتَرُوا عَنِ الْكَلامِ فِيهِ.
11. It is narrated from Ali ibn Muhammad from Yunus from Malik al-Juhanni who has said the following. “I heard Imam abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام saying, ‘Had the people known of the reward in the belief in al-Bada’ there would have been no weakness in their words about it.”
