The Rewards & Punishments of Deeds · Hadith 498 (#Ḥadīth #1)

حَدَّثَنِی أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِیهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِیِّ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لَا یَتَکَلَّمُ الرَّجُلُ بِکَلِمَهِ حَقٍّ فَأُخِذَ بِهَا إِلَّا کَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ مَنْ أَخَذَ بِهَا وَ لَا یَتَکَلَّمُ بِکَلِمَهِ ضَلَالٍ یُؤْخَذُ بِهَا إِلَّا کَانَ عَلَیْهِ وِزْرُ مَنْ أَخَذَ بِهَا.
