4ـ عَنْهُ عَنِ الْحَجَّالِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) يَا مَعْشَرَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ بِلِسَانِهِ وَلَمْ يُسْلِمْ بِقَلْبِهِ لا تَتَبَّعُوا عَثَرَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَتَبَّعَ عَثَرَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ تَتَبَّعَ الله عَثْرَتَهُ وَمَنْ تَتَبَّعَ الله عَثْرَتَهُ يَفْضَحْهُ.
4. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from al-Hajjal from ‘Asim ibn Humayd from abu Basir from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘O group of people who have accepted Islam with their tongue and not yet with their heart, do not seek to search into the privacies of the Muslims to find faults in them; Allah will then do the same to them and to whomever Allah will do such a thing. He will bring disgrace upon him.’”
