28-43 Muhammad ibn Musa ibn al-Mutawakkil - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Ali ibn Al-Hussein As-Sa’dabadi quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Abi Abdillah al-Barqi, on the authority of Abdul Azeem ibn Abdullah Al-Hassani, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Musa ibn Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Al-Hussein ibn Ali ibn Abi Talib (s), on the authority of his father Al-Ridha (s), “Musa ibn Ja’far (al-Kadhim) (s) went to see Harun Ar-Rashid while Harun was really angry with someone. The Imam (s) said, “You are getting angry on behalf of God. Therefore do not get more angry than God would in such a case.”
