From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al-Hakam, from Hassaan, from Abu Ali who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah (asws) saying: ‘Do not mention our (asws) secrets opposite to what we (asws) say publicly, and do not publicise us (asws) opposite to our (asws) secrets. It suffices for you all that you should say what we (asws) say, and remain silent about what we have observed silence on.

You have seen that Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic have never Kept any good for anyone from the people in opposition to us (asws). Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Says: “[24:63] therefore let those beware who go against his order lest a trial afflict them or there befalls upon them a painful chastisement.” يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/198))
