Hadith 2400
۞
7. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Ash‘ariy from ibn al-Qaddah from his father Maymun who has said the following
“Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), once asked Muhammad ibn Sulayman, ‘Where have you found lodging?’ He replied, ‘It is in so and so place.’ He (the Imam) asked, ‘Is there anyone else with you?’ he replied, ‘No, there is no one with me.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘Move from there, O Maymun and do not stay there alone; Satan is most daring against man when he is alone.’”
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَدَّاحِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام )
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ أَيْنَ نَزَلْتَ قَالَ فِي مَكَانِ كَذَا وَ كَذَا قَالَ مَعَكَ أَحَدٌ قَالَ لَا قَالَ لَا تَكُنْ وَحْدَكَ تَحَوَّلْ عَنْهُ يَا مَيْمُونُ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ أَجْرَأَ مَا يَكُونُ عَلَى الْإِنْسَانِ إِذَا كَانَ وَحْدَهُ .
