1ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ فِي وَصِيَّةِ الْمُفَضَّلِ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ لا يَفْتَرِقُ رَجُلانِ عَلَى الْهِجْرَانِ إِلا اسْتَوْجَبَ أَحَدُهُمَا الْبَرَاءَةَ وَاللَّعْنَةَ وَرُبَّمَا اسْتَحَقَّ ذَلِكَ كِلاهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُ مُعَتِّبٌ جَعَلَنِيَ الله فِدَاكَ هَذَا الظَّالِمُ فَمَا بَالُ الْمَظْلُومِ قَالَ لأنَّهُ لا يَدْعُو أَخَاهُ إِلَى صِلَتِهِ وَلا يَتَغَامَسُ لَهُ عَنْ كَلامِهِ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ إِذَا تَنَازَعَ اثْنَانِ فَعَازَّ أَحَدُهُمَا الآخَرَ فَلْيَرْجِعِ الْمَظْلُومُ إِلَى صَاحِبِهِ حَتَّى يَقُولَ لِصَاحِبِهِ أَيْ أَخِي أَنَا الظَّالِمُ حَتَّى يَقْطَعَ الْهِجْرَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ صَاحِبِهِ فَإِنَّ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَكَمٌ عَدْلٌ يَأْخُذُ لِلْمَظْلُومِ مِنَ الظَّالِمِ.

Published English translation

1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ja’far ibn Muhammad from al- Qasim ibn al-Rabi’ and certain individuals of our people from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid in a marfu’ manner it is in the advice to al-Mufaddal who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘Of the two people who depart each other to abandon and walk out on each other, one is subject to disowning and condemnation or perhaps both of them will face such conditions.’ Mu’attib then said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, one is unjust, what about the oppressed?’ The Imam said, ‘It is because he did not ask his brother (in belief) to maintain good brotherly relations and did not ignore his words. I heard my father saying, “Whenever two people dispute and one of them over power the other, the oppressed should turn to his companion and say to him, ‘O brother (in belief), I am the unjust,”’ so that forsaking and abandonment would not take place among them. Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, is the Judge with justice, He judges with justice for the oppressed against the oppressor.’”
