Al-Kāfi|Volume 2|Book 1|Chapter 98
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَا سُلَيْمَانُ إِنَّكُمْ عَلَى دِينٍ مَنْ كَتَمَهُ أَعَزَّهُ الله وَمَنْ أَذَاعَهُ أَذَلَّهُ الله.
3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Yunus ibn ‘Ammar from Sulayman ibn Khalid who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام once said, ‘O Sulayman, you follow the religion of one for whose silent abstinence Allah grants him honor, but due to his loud publicity, Allah causes his humiliation. ’”
