Abi-Basir stated that he told Imam Sadiq (a.s): “Ibn Abi Ya'fur sends his greetings to you.” Imam Sadiq (a.s) replied: “Greetings to him and you. Please deliver my greetings to him whenever you see him and tell him that Ja'far the son of Muhammad says: “Consider what Ali got when he was with the Prophet, and protect these things. Beware that he only got these things through honesty and trustworthiness.”
