In the fourth...

In the fourth, he could see the slave; so, he shouted at him: “son of a, where were you?” As soon as Imam as-Sadiq (a) heard that expression from his friend, he slapped his forehead with the hand and said with astonishment: “Subhaanallah[^10]! How strange is that! How do you defame his mother? In the previous, I thought you were pious. Now, I have known that you are impious.” The man said: “May God make me your sacrifice.

You have no authority over My servants. Your Lord is a Sufficient Protector." 17:63-5)) [^2]: Quoted from al-Wafi; part 3 page 160 (as quoted from al- Kafi).
