٣٨٥- أخبرني الشيخ أبو عبد الله محمد بن محمد بن النعمان عن أبي الحسن علي بن بلال المهلبي قال: سمعت أبا القاسم جعفر بن محمد بن قولويه يقول: أما أبو دلف الكاتب-  لا حاطه الله- فكنا نعرفه ملحدا ثم أظهر الغلو ثم جن وسلسل ثم صار مفوصا، وما عرفناه قط إذا حضر في مشهد إلا استخف به ولا عرفته الشيعة إلا مدة يسيرة،والجماعة تتبرأ منه وممن يومئ إليه وينمس به. وقد كنا وجهنا إلى أبي بكر البغدادي لما ادعى له هذا ما ادعاه فأنكر ذلك وحلف عليه فقبلنا ذلك منه فلما دخل بغداد مال إليه وعدل عن الطائفة وأوصى إليه لم نشك أنه على مذهبه فلعناه وبرئنا منه،لأن عندنا أن كل من ادعى الأمر بعد السمري رحمه الله فهو كافر منمس ضال مضل وبالله التوفيق.
H 385 - Abu Abdullah Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Noman has narrated from Hasan Ibn Bilal Malhabi, saying, I heard Abul Qasim Ja’far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Quluwayh say: We knew Abu Dalf, the transcriber, may God not forgive him, to be blasphemous. Then he expressed exaggeration about the Imams and then went crazy and was put in chains. Then he was released. He was ridiculed wherever he went. The Shia knew him for a very little time. They are disdainful of him and whoever promotes him. We sent someone to Abu Bakr Baghdadi when it was said that he had made such claims. He denied that and took oaths. So we took him on his word, but when he went to Baghdad, he turned to this person and distanced himself from the community and was appointed his successor. We had no doubt that he was on his path. So we cursed him and denounced him, because we believe that whoever claims this position after Saymoori, is a denier; he is evil, misguided and leads astray.
