[Machine] O my son, indeed the Amir al-Mu'minin is inviting you and bringing you close, and seeking your consultation with the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , so protect me with three qualities: fear Allah and never let a lie be tested upon you, do not disclose any secret to him, and do not backbite anyone in his presence. 'Amir said, so I said to Ibn Abbas, "Every one is better than ten thousand."  

الطبراني:١٠٦١٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ ثنا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنِي مُجَالِدٌ أنا عَامِرٌ الشَّعْبِيُّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ

لِيَ الْعَبَّاسُ أَيْ بُنَيْ إِنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَدْعُوكَ وَيُقَرِّبُكَ وَيَسْتَشِيرُكَ مَعَ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَاحْفَظْ عَنِّي ثَلَاثَ خِصَالٍ اتَّقِ لَا يُجَرِّبَنَّ عَلَيْكَ كَذِبَةً وَلَا تُفْشِيَنَّ لَهُ سِرًّا وَلَا تَغْتَابَنَّ عِنْدَهُ أَحَدًا قَالَ عَامِرٌ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ كُلُّ وَاحِدَةٍ خَيْرٌ مِنْ عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ
