6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ جَاءَتْ فَاطِمَةُ (عليها السلام) تَشْكُو إِلَى رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) بَعْضَ أَمْرِهَا فَأَعْطَاهَا رَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) كُرَيْسَةً وَقَالَ تَعَلَّمِي مَا فِيهَا فَإِذَا فِيهَا مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلا يُؤْذِي جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِالله وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْراً أَوْ لِيَسْكُتْ.

Published English translation

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz from Zurara from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Once Fatimah (a.s.) came to the Messenger of Allah and complained about certain matters. The Messenger of Allah gave her a tablet to read. It was written on the tablet: ‘Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment must not cause suffering to his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment must treat his guest with honor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment must speak of good or remain silent.’”
