دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ فَرَأَى عَلَيْهِ قَمِيصاً فِيهِ قَبٌّ قَدْ رَقَعَهُ فَجَعَلَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا لَكَ تَنْظُرُ فَقَالَ قَبٌّ مُلْقًى فِي قَمِيصِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِيَ اضْرِبْ يَدَكَ إِلَى هَذَا الْكِتَابِ فَاقْرَأْ مَا فِيهِ وَ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كِتَابٌ أَوْ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهُ فَنَظَرَ الرَّجُلُ فِيهِ فَإِذَا فِيهِ لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا حَيَاءَ لَهُ وَ لَا مَالَ لِمَنْ لَا تَقْدِيرَ لَهُ وَ لَا جَدِيدَ لِمَنْ لَا خَلَقَ لَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Yaqteen, from Al Fazl Bin Kaseer Al Madainy, from the one who mentioned it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘One of his companions went over to him<sup>asws</sup>, so he saw upon him<sup>asws</sup> a shirt in which was a patch. So he went on staring at it, so Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘What is the matter with you, staring?’ So he said, ‘A patch attached in your<sup>asws</sup> shirt’. He<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Strike you hand to this book and read what is in it’; and in front of him<sup>asws</sup> was a book, or near to him<sup>asws</sup>. So the man looked in it, and there was (written) in it: ‘There is no faith for the one who has no shame for him, nor any wealth for the one who has no esteem for him, nor anything new for the one who does not have (anything) old for him’.
