H 295 - Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Ja’far Himyari narrates on the authority of his father from Muhammad Ibn Salih Hamadani, saying
I wrote to the Master of the Age (a.s) that my family was abusing and rebuking me with the tradition narrated from your forefathers (a.s), “Our servants and our caretakers are the most evil of Allah’s creation.” The holy Imam wrote back, “Regards to you. Do you not read what Allah, the High, has said? “And We made between them and the towns, which We had blessed (other) towns to be easily seen…” (34:18)
295- وقد روى محمد بن عبدالله بن جعفر الحميري، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن صالح الهمداني قال
كتبت إلى صاحب الزمان عليه السلام: إن أهل بيتي يؤذوني ويقرعوني بالحديث الذي روي عن آبائك عليهم السلام أنهم قالوا: خدامنا وقوامنا شرار خلق الله. فكتب: ويحكم! أما تقرؤن ما قال الله تعالى: ﴿وَجَعَلْنَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ الْقُرَى الَّتِي بَارَكْنَا فِيهَا قُرًى ظَاهِرَةً﴾؟ فنحن والله القرى التي بارك (الله) فيها وأنتم القرى الظاهرة.
