alkafi-14909Vol. 8, p. 159

إِيَّاكُمْ وَ ذِكْرَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ ع‌[1] فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ لَيْسَ شَيْ‌ءٌ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ ذِكْرِ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ ع.

Beware of mentioning Ali (asws) and Fatima (sa) (in front of others) for there is nothing more hateful to them than the speaking of Ali (asws) and Fatima (sa)’.
