10ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ طَاهِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله قَالَ كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَلُومُ عَبْدَ الله وَيُعَاتِبُهُ وَيَعِظُهُ وَيَقُولُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مِثْلَ أَخِيكَ فَوَ الله إِنِّي لاعْرِفُ النُّورَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الله لِمَ أَ لَيْسَ أَبِي وَأَبُوهُ وَاحِداً وَأُمِّي وَأُمُّهُ وَاحِدَةً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله إِنَّهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَأَنْتَ ابْنِي.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

10. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Ja‘far ibn Bashir from Fudayl from Tahir from Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام . He has said that Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام would blame ‘Abdallah, show him his anger and advise him saying, “What is the matter that you are not like your brother (Isma'il)? By Allah, I observe light in his face.” ‘Abdallah then said, “Why? Are his father my father not the same? Are my mother and his mother not the same?” Abu ‘Abdallah عليه السلام then said, “He from my soul and you are my son.”
