149. A number of our companions, from Saleh Bin Abu Hammaad, from Ismail Bin Mahraan, narrating from Jabir Bin Yazeed who said: Muhammad Bin Ali
narrated seventy Ahadeeth to me which he
never narrated to anyone at all, and I never narrated these to anyone ever. So when Muhammad
Bin Ali
passed away (martyred), it became heavy upon my neck, and my chest was constricted by it, so I came up to Abu Abdullah
and said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you
, your
father
narrated seventy Ahadeeth to me from which nothing came out from me, nor did I ever bring anything out from these to anyone, and he
ordered me to keep these as a secret. This has become heavy upon my neck and my chest has been constricted by it, so what is your
order for me?’ He
said: ‘O Jabir! If some of that constricts your chest, go to the cemetery and dig up a ditch, then enter your head inside it and say, ‘Muhammad
Bin Ali
narrated to me with such and such’, then cover it up. The earth will keep it as a secret for you’. Jabir said, ‘I did that, so it became lighter upon me from what I had been under’. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ismail Bin Mahraan (have narrated) similar to this.
