26ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا قَالَ سُلِّمَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِلَى نِحْرِيرٍ فَكَانَ يُضَيِّقُ عَلَيْهِ وَيُؤْذِيهِ قَالَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ امْرَأَتُهُ وَيْلَكَ اتَّقِ الله لا تَدْرِي مَنْ فِي مَنْزِلِكَ وَعَرَّفَتْهُ صَلاحَهُ وَقَالَتْ إِنِّي أَخَافُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْهُ فَقَالَ لارْمِيَنَّهُ بَيْنَ السِّبَاعِ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِهِ فَرُئِيَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَائِماً يُصَلِّي وَهِيَ حَوْلَهُ.

He has said that his wife told him, “woe is you, be pious before Allah. Do you not know who is in your house?” She then explained to him the good manners of the Imam عليه السلام and said, “I am afraid for you from him.” He then said, “I can throw him to the beasts.” He inf act, did so and the Imam عليه السلام was seeing standing among them for prayer and the beast circled around him.”
