(7) Abdul Wahid bin Abdullah bin Younus narrated from Abu Sulayman Ahmad bin Hawtha al-Bahili from Ibraheem bin Iss’haq an-Nahawandi from Abdullah bin Hammad al-Ansari that al-Mufadhdhal bin Umar had said
Once I was with Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (as) during the circumambulation (around the Kaaba). He looked at me and said: “O Mufadhdhal, you seem distressed and easy! What is the matter?” I said: “May I die for you! I think of the Abbasids and their prevailing rule and tyranny. If it (the rule) is in your hands, then we will be with you!” He said: “O Mufadhdhal, if it is so, it will be politics in the night, achieving people’s affairs in the day, eating coarse food and wearing rough cloths like Amirul Mo’mineen (as); otherwise it will be (going to) Hell. It has gone away from us. We eat and drink. Have you ever seen an oppression that Allah has made as a blessing like this?!”
7 - حدثنا عبد الواحد بن عبد الله بن يونس قال: حدثنا أبو سليمان أحمد بن هوذة الباهلي، قال: حدثنا إبراهيم بن إسحاق النهاوندي، قال: حدثنا عبد الله ابن حماد الأنصاري، عن المفضل بن عمر، قال
كنت عند أبي عبد الله يالطواف فنظر إليّ وقال لي: يا مفضل، ما لي أراك مهموماً متغير اللون؟ (قال) فقلت له: جعلت فداك، نظري إلى بني العباس وما في أيديهم من هذا الملك والسلطان والجبروت، فلو كان ذلك لكم لكنا فيه معكم. فقال: يا مفضل، أما لو كان ذلك لم يكن إلاّ سياسة الليل وسباحة النهار وأكل الجشب ولبس الخشن شبه أمير المؤمنين وإلاّ فالنار، فزوي ذلك عنا، فصرنا نأكل ونشر ب، وهل رأيت ظلامة جعلها الله نعمة مثل هذا؟
