hadith 172
In Al-Mahasin it is narrated that Muala ibn Khunays narrated that Imam Sadiq (a.s) told him
“O' Muala! Conceal our secrets, and do not divulge them since God wil l honor those who conceal our secrets in this world, and will provide him with a guiding light directing him to Heaven in the Hereafter. O' Muala! God will abase whoever divulges our secrets in this world, and will darken his path in the Hereafter leading him to Hell. O' Muala! Concealing faith is a part of my religion, and the religion of my forefathers. Whoever does not practice it, is not religious. God likes to be worshipped in secret the same way that He likes to be worshipped publicly. O' Muala! Whoever divulges our secrets is like one who denies them.”
من كتاب المحاسن: عن معلى بن خنيس قال
قال أبو عبد الله (عليه السلام): يا معلى، اكتم أمرنا ولم تذعه، فإنه من كتم أمرنا ولم يذعه أعزه الله في الدنيا وجعله نورا بين عينيه في الآخرة يقوده إلى الجنة. يا معلى! من أذاع أمرنا ولم يكتمه أذله الله في الدنيا والآخرة ونزع النور من بين عينيه في الآخرة، وجعله ظلمة تقوده إلى النار. يا معلى، إن التقية ديني ودين آبائي، ولا دين لمن لا تقية له، إن الله يحب أن يعبد في السر كما يحب أن يعبد في العلانية. يا معلى، إن المذيع لأمرنا كالجاحد له.
