1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ عَوْنٍ الْقَلانِسِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ لَقِيَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِوَجْهَيْنِ وَلِسَانَيْنِ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَهُ لِسَانَانِ مِنْ نَارٍ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Awn al-Qalanisi from ibn abu Ya’fur from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever meets the Muslims with two faces and tongues, he on the Day of Judgment will be raised with two tongues of fire.”

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ عَبْدٌ يَكُونُ ذَا وَجْهَيْنِ وَذَا لِسَانَيْنِ يُطْرِي أَخَاهُ شَاهِداً وَيَأْكُلُهُ غَائِباً إِنْ أُعْطِيَ حَسَدَهُ وَإِنِ ابْتُلِيَ خَذَلَهُ.

2. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from abu Shaybah from al-Zuhri from abu ‘Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “The worst servant (of Allah) is a servant who has two faces and tongues. He praises his brother (in belief) on his face and backbites him in his absence. If his brother (in belief) gains something, he envies him, and if he faces difficult conditions, he betrays him.”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ الله تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لِعِيسَى ابْنِ مَرْيَمَ (عَلَيهِما السَّلام) يَا عِيسَى لِيَكُنْ لِسَانُكَ فِي السِّرِّ وَالْعَلانِيَةِ لِسَاناً وَاحِداً وَكَذَلِكَ قَلْبُكَ إِنِّي أُحَذِّرُكَ نَفْسَكَ وَكَفَى بِي خَبِيراً لا يَصْلُحُ لِسَانَانِ فِي فَمٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلا سَيْفَانِ فِي غِمْدٍ وَاحِدٍ وَلا قَلْبَانِ فِي صَدْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَكَذَلِكَ الأذْهَانُ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ali ibn Asbat from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn Hammad in a marfu’ manner from the Imam who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, said to Jesus, son of Mary (a.s.), ‘O Jesus, your tongue must be one tongue in private and in public so also must be your heart. I warn you against your own soul and Myself am a sufficient expert over your (activities). Two tongues are not proper for one mouth just as two swords are not proper in one sheath or two hearts in one chest, and so also are minds.’”
