٩ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ الله مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ وَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ الله مِنَ الْكَاذِبِينَ فَإِذَا صَدَقَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ صَدَقَ وَبَرَّ وَإِذَا كَذَبَ قَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ كَذَبَ وَفَجَرَ.
9. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Washsha’ from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah  saying, ‘A servant (of Allah) may keep speaking the truth until he is written among the truthful ones before Allah or keep speaking lies until he is written in the (list of) liars before Allah. If a man speaks the truth, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will say, “He has spoken the truth and has acted virtuously.” If one speaks lies, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will say, “He has lied and has committed evil.’””
