عَرَضْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع كِتَاباً فِيهِ قُرْآنٌ مُخَتَّمٌ مُعَشَّرٌ بِالذَّهَبِ وَ كُتِبَ فِي آخِرِهِ سُورَةٌ بِالذَّهَبِ فَأَرَيْتُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَلَمْ يَعِبْ فِيهِ شَيْئاً إِلَّا كِتَابَةَ الْقُرْآنِ بِالذَّهَبِ وَ قَالَ لَا يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يُكْتَبَ الْقُرْآنُ إِلَّا بِالسَّوَادِ كَمَا كُتِبَ أَوَّلَ مَرَّةٍ.

8. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Safwan from Muskan from Muhammad ibn al-Warraq who has said the following: “Once I showed to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) a copy of the Holy Quran decorated with writings of gold in a stamp form and at the end of chapters there were writings with gold. He did not criticize anything in it except the writing of the Holy Quran with gold saying, ‘I do not like the writing of the Holy Quran in anything except black ink, just as it was written the first time.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
