15. My father said: `Abd Allah ibn Ja`far al-Himyari said, on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Isa that Muhammad ibn Khalid said, on the authority of `Ali ibn al-Nu`man and Safwan ibn Yahya, on the authority of Fudayl ibn `Uthman, that A group of people entered the presence of Abu `Abd Allah al-Sadiq talking about the Lordship. He told them: “Fear Allah, revere Him and do not say what we do not say, for verily, if you say one thing, and we say another, then you will die and so shall we. Then Allah will raise you from death, and as He will raise us. Thus, you would be the way He wills, and so shall we.”
