١٥- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنِّي وُلِّيتُ عَمَلا فَهَلْ لِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَخْرَجٌ فَقَالَ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَنْ طَلَبَ الْمَخْرَجَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَعَسُرَ عَلَيْهِ قُلْتُ فَمَا تَرَى قَالَ أَرَى أَنْ تَتَّقِيَ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَلا تَعُدْهُ. 
15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Yunus from Hammad from Hamid who has said the following: “This is concerning my question before abu ‘Abd Allah , about my becoming the in charge person of a certain work (for the sultan), if there is a way for me out of it. He (the Imam) said, ‘How many are those who want a way out but it becomes difficult for them.’ I then asked, ‘What is your decision? He (the Imam) said, ‘I say that you must remain pious before Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, and do not go back to such work.’”
