“Once, in al-Madinah I was sitting before a judge, when abu Ja‘far and abu ‘ Abd Allah, ‘Alayhim al- Salam, passed by. The next day I went to visit him (the Imam), he asked, ‘What was the gathering where I saw you?’ I said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, this judge honors me and sometimes I sit with him.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘What will protect you if condemnation falls up on such gathering to encompass you also?’”
