وعن عبد الله بن سنان قال
دخلت على أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) وقد صلى العصر وهو جالس مستقبل القبلة في المسجد، فقلت: يا بن رسول الله، إن بعض السلاطين يأمننا على الأموال، يستودعناها وليس يدفع إليكم خمسكم، أفنؤديها إليهم؟ قال: ورب هذه القبلة - ثلاث مرات - لو أن ابن ملجم قاتل أبي فإني أطلبه يتستر لأنه قتل أبي ائتمنني على الأمانة لأديتها إليه.
