7ـ عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَبْعَدُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنَ الله أَنْ يَكُونَ الرَّجُلُ يُوَاخِيَ الرَّجُلَ وَهُوَ يَحْفَظُ عَلَيْهِ زَلاتِهِ لِيُعَيِّرَهُ بِهَا يَوْماً مَا.
7. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Faddal from ibn Bukayr from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘A servant (of Allah) is farthest from Allah when he assumes brotherhood (in belief) with a man and keeps counting his slips and mistakes so he can one day use them against him.’”
