صفوان عن ابن مكسان عن أبي عمرو البزاز قال: كنا عند أبي جعفر عليه السلام جلوسا فقام فدخل البيت وخرج فاخذ بعضادتي الباب فسلم فرددنا عليه السلام ثم قال: (أما) والله انى لا (حبكم وا) حب ريحكم وأرواحكم وانكم لعلى دين الله ودين ملائكته وما بين أحدكم وبين أن يرى ما تقر به عينه الا ان تبلغ نفسه (هذه) ها ههنا - وأو ما بيده إلى حنجرته - وقال: فاتقوا الله وأعينوا على ذلك بورع.
9.Ṣafwān narrated from Ibn Muskān, from Abū ʿAmr al-Bazzāz who said, “We were sitting with Abū Jaʿfar  when he stood up and entered the house [for some time] and [then] came out. He held the two doorposts and greeted us, so we replied his greeting. Then he said, ‘Know, by Allah, I surely love you and love your scent and your spirit. Verily you are upon the religion of Allah and His angels; and nothing stands between any of you and his seeing that which would gladden him except his soul reaching here,’ and he pointed to his throat with his hand. And he [also] said, ‘Be mindful of Allah and support that with piety[and devotion].’”
