So I went over to him -asws in the morning, so he -asws said to me: ‘What sitting did I -asws see you to be in, yesterday?’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! This judge is honourable to me, so sometimes I sit with him’.
So he -asws said to me: ‘And what would secure you if the Curse were to descend, so it would embrace (grip all) the ones in the gathering’ [19] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى قَالَ دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْبَصْرِيِّينَ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أَقْعُدُ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يَلْعَبُونَ بِالشِّطْرَنْجِ وَ لَسْتُ أَلْعَبُ بِهَا وَ لَكِنْ أَنْظُرُ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ وَ لِمَجْلِسٍ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa who said, ‘A man from the (people of) Al-Basra came over to Abu Al-Hassan -asws the 1st so he said to him -asws , ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! I sit with a people who are playing with the chess, and I do not play with it, but I (just) look’.
So he -asws said: ‘ What is it to you and a gathering which Allah -azwj does not Look at its people ?’ [20] عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مِهْرَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ هَارُونَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ الْغِنَاءُ مَجْلِسٌ لَا يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ هُوَ مِمَّا قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ مَنْ يَشْتَرِي لَهْوَ الْحَدِيثِ لِيُضِلَّ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ .
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mihran Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Haroun who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah -asws saying: ‘ The singing (music) gathering, Allah -azwj does not Look at its people, and it is from what Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic Said [31:6] And from the people is one who buys amusing discourse to lead astray from Allah’s Way ’.
[21] Don’t sit with the people of innovations: أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَا تَصْحَبُوا أَهْلَ الْبِدَعِ وَ لَا تُجَالِسُوهُمْ فَتَصِيرُوا عِنْدَ النَّاسِ كَوَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) الْمَرْءُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ وَ قَرِينِهِ .
