3. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from Hisham ibn Salim from Habib al- Sajistani from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following
“In the Torah it is of the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, to Moses ibn ‘Imran, ‘O Moses, keep My secret as secret in your secrecy. Demonstrate gentleness from Me in your public life toward your enemy and My enemy among My creatures. Do not express My secret (condemnation of the enemy) for Me before them and in public that, consequently, your enemy and My enemy join to abuse Me.’”
3ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ السِّجِسْتَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
فِي التَّوْرَاةِ مَكْتُوبٌ فِيمَا نَاجَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَا مُوسَى اكْتُمْ مَكْتُومَ سِرِّي فِي سَرِيرَتِكَ وَأَظْهِرْ فِي عَلانِيَتِكَ الْمُدَارَاةَ عَنِّي لِعَدُوِّي وَعَدُوِّكَ مِنْ خَلْقِي وَلا تَسْتَسِبَّ لِي عِنْدَهُمْ بِإِظْهَارِ مَكْتُومِ سِرِّي فَتُشْرِكَ عَدُوَّكَ وَعَدُوِّي فِي سَبِّي.
