حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ رَحِمَهُ اَللَّهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ ع قَالَ : قَالَ لَهُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ اَلدَّوَانِيقِيُّ بِالْحِيرَةِ أَيَّامَ أَبِي اَلْعَبَّاسِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ مَا بَالُ اَلرَّجُلِ مِنْ شِيعَتِكُمْ يَسْتَخْرِجُ مَا فِي جَوْفِهِ فِي مَجْلِسٍ وَاحِدٍ حَتَّى يُعْرَفَ مَذْهَبُهُ فَقَالَ ع ذَلِكَ بِحَلاَوَةِ اَلْإِيمَانِ فِي صُدُورِهِمْ مِنْ حَلاَوَتِهِ يُبْدُونَهُ تَبَدِّياً .

Mohammad bin Ali Majilwayh, Allah may have mercy upon him, … In al-Hira during the reign of Abu al-Abbas, Abu Ja’far ad-Dawaniqi said to Imam Abu Abdullah “O Abu Abdullah, I noticed that any individual of the Shia speak out all that he hides in one session so that his trend would be easily known. Why is that?” The Imam answered: This is because of the sweetness of faith that the Shia carry in their chests. For that sweetness, they show the hidden all at once.
