1. My father said: it was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Idris from Muhammad b. Ahmad from Musa b. ’Imran from Ali b. al-Hussain b. Ribat from some of his men from Abi Abdillah who said: “A believer is counted among virtuous till he is silent. As soon as he speaks, he is included either among good people or bad ones.”
