11ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الطَّائِيِّ عَنِ الأصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) لا يَجِدُ عَبْدٌ طَعْمَ الإيمَانِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَ الْكَذِبَ هَزْلَهُ وَجِدَّهُ.
11. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwah from ‘Abd al-Hamid al-Ta’I from al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib عليه السلام has said, ‘A servant (of Allah) does not sense the taste of belief until he stays away from lies, serious ones as well as trivial ones.’”
