[Machine] "An emir from among the emirs of Kufa summoned a magician who played tricks in front of the people. Jundub approached him with his sword and attacked him. When the people saw this, they dispersed. Jundub said, 'O people, you are not safe. I only intended to reach the magician.' The emir then took him and imprisoned him. Salman heard about this and said, 'How terrible is what they have done. It is not proper for him, being an Imam who is followed, to summon a magician who plays tricks in front of him. It is not right for him to rebuke his emir with a sword.' Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in his summary."  

الحاكم:٨٠٧٥أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْوَزِيرِ التَّاجِرُ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو حَاتِمٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْحَنْظَلِيُّ بِالرِّيِّ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ

أَنَّ أَمِيرًا مِنْ أُمَرَاءِ الْكُوفَةِ دَعَا سَاحِرًا يَلْعَبُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّاسِ فَبَلَغَ جُنْدُبًا فَأَقْبَلَ بِسَيْفِهِ وَاشْتَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ ضَرَبَهُ بِسَيْفِهِ فَتَفَرَّقَ النَّاسُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ لَنْ تُرَاعُوا إِنَّمَا أَرَدْتُ السَّاحِرَ فَأَخَذَهُ الْأَمِيرُ فَحَبَسَهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ سَلْمَانَ فَقَالَ «بِئْسَ مَا صَنَعَا لَمْ يَكُنْ يَنْبَغِي لِهَذَا وَهُوَ إِمَامٌ يُؤْتَمُّ بِهِ يَدْعُو سَاحِرًا يَلْعَبُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَا يَنْبَغِي لِهَذَا أَنْ يُعَاتِبَ أَمِيرَهُ بِالسَّيْفِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
