2ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمَا (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَعْنَى يُفَرَّقُ بَيْنَهُمَا أَيْ لا يَخْلُوَانِ وَأَنْ يَكُونَ مَعَهُمَا ثَالِثٌ.
2. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad from Aban ibn ‘Uthman in a marfu‘ manner who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja’far or abu ‘Abd Allah), ‘Alayhim al-Salam, has said, ‘The meaning of separating them is that they must not stay together without a third person being with them.’”
