٤ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ بَهْرَامَ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ جُمَيْعٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَنْ جَاءَنَا يَلْتَمِسُ الْفِقْهَ وَالْقُرْآنَ وَتَفْسِيرَهُ فَدَعُوهُ وَمَنْ جَاءَنَا يُبْدِي عَوْرَةً قَدْ سَتَرَهَا الله فَنَحُّوهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَالله إِنَّنِي لَمُقِيمٌ عَلَى ذَنْبٍ مُنْذُ دَهْرٍ أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ فَمَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقاً فَإِنَّ الله يُحِبُّكَ وَمَا يَمْنَعُهُ أَنْ يَنْقُلَكَ مِنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ إِلا لِكَيْ تَخَافَهُ.
4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from al-Harith ibn Bahram from ‘Amr ibn Jumay’ who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah  has said, ‘Whoever comes to us seeking to learn Fiqh (laws of Shari’a) and the Holy Quran, allow him to come in. Whoever comes to us to make public what Allah has covered, you must move him away.’ A man from the people then said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, I have been involved in sin for a long time and I want to change to something else but I am not able to do so.’ The Imam said, ‘If you are true, Allah loves you. There is nothing to prevent Him from changing you to something else, it is only as such so that you can be fearing Him.’”
