3ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) التَّقِيَّةُ مِنْ دِينِ الله قُلْتُ مِنْ دِينِ الله قَالَ إِي وَالله مِنْ دِينِ الله وَلَقَدْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَيَّتُهَا الْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسارِقُونَ وَالله مَا كَانُوا سَرَقُوا شَيْئاً وَلَقَدْ قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنِّي سَقِيمٌ وَالله مَا كَانَ سَقِيماً.
3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’a from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘Al-Taqiyyah is of the religion of Allah.’ I asked, ‘Is it of the religion of Allah?’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, by Allah, it is of the religion of Allah. Yusuf (the prophet) had said, ‘O people of the caravan of camels, you are thieves.’ By Allah, they had not stolen anything and Ibrahim had said, ‘I am ill’, by Allah, he had no illness.’”
