3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ الْقُمِّيُّ فَقَالَ أَصْلَحَكَ الله أَسْجُدُ وَيَدِي فِي ثَوْبِي فَقَالَ إِنْ شِئْتَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي وَالله مَا مِنْ هَذَا وَشِبْهِهِ أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ.

Published English translation

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following: “I once was with abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), when ‘Abd al-Malik al-Qummiy came and asked saying, ‘I pray to Allah to keep you well, I perform Sajdah (prostration) and my hands are inside my clothes. He (the Imam) said, ‘If you want, you can do so.’ He (the narrator) has said that he (the Imam) then said, ‘I, by Allah, am not afraid for you because of this and things similar to it.’”
