81. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from Yunus who said
Abu Abdullah (asws) said to Abbaad Bin Kaseer Al-Basry Al-Soufy: ‘Woe be unto you, O Abbaad! You have been deceived yourself by (merely) abstaining from your stomach and your genitals. Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic has Said: “[33:70] O you who believe! be careful of (your duty to) Allah and speak the right word [33:71] He will put your deeds into a right state for you”. You must realise that Allah (azwj) will not Accept from you anything until you speak the truth and just word (do not only rely on the meditation but accept the truth, the Wilayah of Amimah (asws))’.
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لِعَبَّادِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الْبَصْرِيِّ الصُّوفِيِّ وَيْحَكَ يَا عَبَّادُ غَرَّكَ أَنْ عَفَّ بَطْنُكَ وَ فَرْجُكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَ قُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيداً يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمالَكُمْ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لَا يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنْكَ شَيْئاً حَتَّى تَقُولَ قَوْلًا عَدْلًا.
