8ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام)
يَا مُعَلَّى اكْتُمْ أَمْرَنَا وَلا تُذِعْهُ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ كَتَمَ أَمْرَنَا وَلَمْ يُذِعْهُ أَعَزَّهُ الله بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَجَعَلَهُ نُوراً بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ فِي الآخِرَةِ يَقُودُهُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ يَا مُعَلَّى مَنْ أَذَاعَ أَمْرَنَا وَلَمْ يَكْتُمْهُ أَذَلَّهُ الله بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَنَزَعَ النُّورَ مِنْ بَيْنِ عَيْنَيْهِ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَجَعَلَهُ ظُلْمَةً تَقُودُهُ إِلَى النَّارِ يَا مُعَلَّى إِنَّ التَّقِيَّةَ مِنْ دِينِي وَدِينِ آبَائِي وَلا دِينَ لِمَنْ لا تَقِيَّةَ لَهُ يَا مُعَلَّى إِنَّ الله يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي السِّرِّ كَمَا يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُعْبَدَ فِي الْعَلانِيَةِ يَا مُعَلَّى إِنَّ الْمُذِيعَ لأمْرِنَا كَالْجَاحِدِ لَهُ.
8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn Yahya from Hariz from Mu’alla ibn Khanith who has said the following:
“Once Abu ‘Abdillah 
said to me, ‘O Mu’alla, conceal our cause and do not make it public; to those who conceal our cause and do not publicize it, Allah grants honor in this world. He will make it a light between his eyes in the next life and lead him to paradise. O Mu’alla, whoever publicizes our cause and does not conceal it, Allah humiliates him in this world, removes the light between his eyes in the next life and will make darkness to lead him to fire. O Mu’alla, al-Taqiyyah is my religion and the religion of my predecessors. There is no religion for one who does not observe al-Taqiyyah. O Mu’alla, Allah loves to be worshipped secretly just as He loves to be worshipped publicly. O Mu’alla, one who publicizes our cause is like one who rejects it altogather.’”
