Original Arabic text

25ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَشْكُو عَبْدَ الْعَزِيزِ بْنَ دُلَفَ وَيَزِيدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ الله فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَمَّا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ فَقَدْ كُفِيتَهُ وَأَمَّا يَزِيدُ فَإِنَّ لَكَ وَلَهُ مَقَاماً بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الله فَمَاتَ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ وَقَتَلَ يَزِيدُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ حُجْرٍ.

Published English translation

25. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from certain persons of our people who have narrated the following. “mmd ibn al-Hujr once wrote to abu Muhammad (a.s.) complaining against ‘Abd al-‘Aziz ibn Dulf and Yazid ibn ‘Abdallah. He wrote back in reply, “As far as ‘Abd al-‘Aziz is concerned I have relieved you from his troubles. As far as Yazid is concerned for each of you there is position before Allah.” ‘Abd al-‘Aziz died and Yazid killed Muhammad ibn Hujr.”
