Hadith 502
۞
47-33 Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Waleed - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Muhammad ibn Al-Hassan al-Saffar quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isa, on the authority of Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’
“Al-Abbas ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn al-Ash’ath asked me to ask Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) in writing to burn the letters - which Abbas had written to him (a.s.) - after reading them, since he feared that others might get ahold of them. I received a letter from the Imam (a.s.) - before asking him to burn the letters - in which it was written, ‘Inform your friend that I have burned all his letters after reading them.’”
33 - حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحَسَن بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ الوَلِيدقالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الحَسَن الصَفَّار عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ الحَسَن بْنِ عَلِى الوَشَّاء قالَ
سَأَلَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الأَشْعَثِ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ الرِّضَا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَنْ يَخْرِقَ كُتُبَهُ إِذَا قَرَأَهَا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَقَعَ فِي يَدِ غَيْرِهِ قَالَ الْوَشَّاءُ فَابْتَدَأَنِي عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بِكِتَابٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَسْأَلَهُ أَنْ يَخْرِقَ كُتُبَهُ فِيهِ أَعْلِمْ صَاحِبَكَ أَنِّي إِذَا قَرَأْتُ كُتُبَهُ إِلَيَّ خَرَقْتُهَا.
