Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Ali Bin Abu Hamza who said, ‘There used to be a friend for me from the scribes (clerks) of the Clan of Umayya, so he said to me, ‘Get me permission to see Abu Abdullah -asws ’. So I sought permission for him to see him -asws , and he -asws permitted him. So when he came over, he greeted and was seated, then said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws !

I was in the offices of these people (the Clan of Umayya), so I achieved a lot of wealth from their world, and I closed my eyes regarding their demands’.
