 deacon then he was humble in his obedience and became famous after i mentioned some ugly and harmful sins. i prolonged my blame and was strict in my rebuke of him when he declared the sin after concealing it until that corrupted his conscience towards me and his intentions towards me became evil and he lay in wait for me to fall into evil circles and some of our companions helped him with words to draw him to him so he would feel comfortable with him and show him my enmity until he revealed his secret to god so the obvious and the present knew it and he fell from the eyes of all the people after he had been a destination for scholars and a visitor to the virtuous and he was despised by his brothers as a whole. may god protect us from the affliction and cover us in his sufficiency and not let us have what we have from his blessings.
شماس، فخب في طاعته وأوضع، واشتهر بعد ما ذكرته في بعض المعاصي القبيحة الوضرة. ولقد أطلت ملامة وتشددت في عذله إذ أعلن بالمعصية بعد استتار، إلى ان أفسد ذلك ضميره علي، وخبثت نيته لي، وتربص بي دوائر السوء، وكان بعض أصحابنا يساعده بالكلام استجرارا إليه، فيأنس به ويظهر له عداوتي، إلى أن أظهر لله سريرته، فعلمها البادي والحاضر، وسقط من عيون الناس كلهم بعد أن كان مقصدا للعلماء ومنتابا للفضلاء، ورذل عند إخوانه جملة، أعاذنا الله من البلاء، وسترنا في كفايته، ولا سبلنا ما بنا من نعمته.
