John Shaqi

قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ مِنَ التَّضْعِيفِ تَرْكَ الْمُكَافَأَةِ وَ مِنَ الْجَفَاءِ اسْتِخْدَامَ الضَّيْفِ فَإِذَا نَزَلَ بِكُمُ الضَّيْفُ فَأَعِينُوهُ وَ إِذَا ارْتَحَلَ فَلَا تُعِينُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ النَّذَالَةِ وَ زَوِّدُوهُ وَ طَيِّبُوا زَادَهُ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ السَّخَاءِ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Musa, from Zubyan Bin Hakeym, from Musa Bin Akeyl Al Nameyri, from Maysara who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘It is from the weaknesses, neglect of the rewards, and from the disloyalty, making the guest to serve. So when the guest lodges with you, so aid him, and when he departs, so do not aid him in it (his departure), for it is from the lowness, and provide for him, and make good his provision, for it is from the generosity’.
