علي بن النعمان عن ابن مسكان عن داود عن أبي شيبة الزهري عن أحدهما عليهما السلام قال: بئس العبد عبدا يكون ذا وجهين وذا لسانين يطرى أخاه شاهدا ويأكله غائبا ان اعطى حسده وان ظلم خذله.
5.ʿAlī ibn al-Nuʿmān narrated from Ibn Muskān, from Dāwūd, from Abū Shaybah al-Zuhrī, from one of the two (Imam al-Bāqir or al-Ṣādiq) who said, “The worst servant [of Allah] is he who possesses a doubleface and a forked-tongue, he compliments his brother in his presence yet backbites him in his absence. When he is given, he envies him and when he is wronged, he abandons him.”
