26ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ سُلِّمَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ (a.s) إِلَى نِحْرِيرٍ فَكَانَ يُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْهِ وَيُؤْذِيهِ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ وَيْلَكَ اتَّقِ الله لا تَدْرِي مَنْ فِي مَنْزِلِكَ وَعَرَّفَتْهُ صَلاحَهُ وَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لارْمِيَنَّهُ بَيْنَ السِّبَاعِ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ فَرُئِيَ (a.s) قَائِماً يُصَلِّي وَهِيَ حَوْلَهُ.

26. Ail Muhammad has narrated from certain persons of our people saying as follows. “Abu Muhammad (a.s) was placed under the supervision of a zoo-keeper who would cause constraints suffering to him. He has said that his wife told him, “woe is you, be pious before Allah. Do you not know who is in your house?” She then explained to him the good manners of the Imam (a.s) and said, “I am afraid for you from him.” He then said, “I can throw him to the beasts.” He inf act, did so and the Imam (a.s) was seeing standing among them for prayer and the beast circled around him.”
