I have read this incident mentioned many times on the internet. A few times it was associated with imam Jaffar saqiq(as).
Can you kindly verify if it's actually a saying of imam jaffar sadiq(as) or not?

The incident follows like:

Once there was a man who did Tohmat of our Sixth Imam Sadiq (a.s.). Imam Sadiq (a.s.) did no know about it until a few days later when one of his 'friends' came to him and said, "Oh Imam, I have heard terrible news. This person has been going around and saying this about you."
Imam Sadiq (a.s.) became angry at his 'friend'. He said, "Think of the person who did Tohmat towards me as if he shot an arrow at my body. I did not hear him so it is as if the arrow missed me; But by telling me this news, you have picked up the arrow from the ground and have hit me with it."


Non religiously it is also mentioned like:

“I heard this man say things about you behind your back.”
“He shot an arrow and it missed me, why have you picked it up to stab me with it?"

So can you kindly verify if this incident happened with imam jaffar saqiq(as)? If this saying is accurate and associated with imam? If yes kindly provide sources to back it up. I'd appreciate that.

Yes it is right but it is narrated about Imam Zainul Abedien as in Noorul Absaar and Ehtejaj e Tabrasi Page 304

I can’t verify it but such moral stories are there and it dies not conflict with the concept of naneema in the quran when some one passes Ill talk of a person to him abd causes damage to relations thus such concept is seriously condemned so the story corresponds the quranic concept.
