Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Wahsa’a, from Abaan Bin Usmaan, from Abu Baseer who said: ‘It was said to Abu Ja’far (asws) and I was in his (asws) presence that, ‘Saalim Bin Abu Hafsa and his companions are narrating from you (asws) that you (asws) speak upon seventy perspectives, for you (asws) there is a way out from (each one) of these?’ He (asws) said: ‘What does Saalim want from me (asws)?

Does he want that I (asws) should come with the Angels. By Allah (azwj), (even) the Prophets (as) did not come with this. And Ibrahim (as) said: “[37:89] Then said: Lo! I feel sick!”, and he (as) was not sick and he (as) did not lie. And Ibrahim (as) has said: “[21:63] He said: "Nay, this was done by this their biggest one! Ask them, if they can speak!”, and he (their biggest idol) had not done it, and he (as) did not lie’. And Yusuf (as) has said: “[12:70] O camel-riders! Lo!

Ye are surely thieves!” by Allah (azwj) they had not stolen, and he (as) had not lied’. يخرجه - Shaykh Baqir al-Behbudi (Sahih al-Kafi) ضعيف - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (15/241))
