ENGLISH TRANSLATION

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from abu Hamza from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “It is written in the Torah, which is not changed, that Moses asked his Lord saying, ‘O Lord, sometimes I find myself in certain gatherings where I feel speaking of Y ou is not worthy of Your Honor and Glory. He (Allah) said, Moses, speaking of Me is good in all conditions.’”
