1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) بَيْنَا هُوَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عِنْدَ عَائِشَةَ إِذَا اسْتَأْذَنَ عَلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ فَقَامَتْ عَائِشَةُ فَدَخَلَتِ الْبَيْتَ وَأَذِنَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) لِلرَّجُلِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِ بِوَجْهِهِ وَبِشْرُهُ إِلَيْهِ يُحَدِّثُهُ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرَغَ وَخَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ يَا رَسُولَ الله بَيْنَا أَنْتَ تَذْكُرُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ بِمَا ذَكَرْتَهُ بِهِ إِذْ أَقْبَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِوَجْهِكَ وَبِشْرِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ إِنَّ مِنْ شَرِّ عِبَادِ الله مَنْ تُكْرَهُ مُجَالَسَتُهُ لِفُحْشِهِ.

Published English translation

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’a from abu Basir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “One day, when the Holy Prophet was with ‘A’ishah, a man asked permission to meet him. The Messenger of Allah said, ‘What an evil fellow from the tribe!’ ‘A’ishah then went to her chamber and the Holy Prophet granted permission to the man for a meeting. When he came in, the Holy Prophet met him cheerfully, politely speaking to him until the meeting was over and the man left. ‘A’ishah then asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, a while ago you said about the man what you said and then you met him in such a cheerful and polite manner! ’ The Messenger of Allah said, ‘Of the most evil among the servants (of Allah) is one whose meeting is disliked because of his using obscene language.’”
