Hadith 509
۞
H 288 - It is narrated from Muhammad bin Abdullah bin Ja’far Himyari from his father from Yaqub bin Yazid from Hammad bin Isa from Ibrahim bin Umar Yamani from a man from Imam Muhammad Baqir (a.s) that he said
“O Shia of Muhammad’s progeny, you are going to be tested like the kohl in the eye. One knows when the kohl is put into his eye, but he does not know when it gets out. In the same way one believes in our matter in the morning and recants it in the evening or believes in it in the evening and when morning comes, he recants it…”
288- وروى محمد بن عبدالله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أبيه، عن يعقوب بن يزيد، عن حماد بن عيسى، عن إبراهيم بن عمر اليماني، عن رجل، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام
أنه قال: (والله) لتمحصن يا معشر الشيعة شيعة آل محمد كمخيض الكحل في العين، لان صاحب الكحل يعلم متى يقع في العين ولا يعلم متى يذهب، فيصبح أحدكم وهو يرى أنه على شريعة من أمرنا فيمسي وقد خرج منها، ويمسي وهو على شريعة من أمرنا فيصبح وقد خرج منها.
