٣٠٠- فروي عن أبي بصير قال: لما قتل داود بن (علي) المعلى بن خنيس فصلبه، عظم ذلك على أبي عبد الله عليه السلام واشتد عليه وقال له: يا داود!على ما قتلت مولاي وقيمي في مالي وعلى عيالي؟ والله إنه لأوجه عند الله منك… في حديث طويل.
H 300 - It is narrated from Abu Basir that he said: When Dawood bin Ali had Mualla bin Khunais eliminated and had his body suspended in public view, it was a great tragedy for Imam Ja’far Sadiq , which aggrieved him much. So he said to the killer of Mualla: O Dawood, why have you got my friend and manager of the monetary affairs of my family, killed? By Allah, he is more honorable than you before Almighty Allah. It is a lengthy tradition [but we have just quoted according to our purpose].
