قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى مَنَازِلَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى وَاحِدَةٍ وَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى اثْنَتَيْنِ وَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى ثَلَاثٍ وَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى أَرْبَعٍ وَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى خَمْسٍ وَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى سِتٍّ وَ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى سَبْعٍ فَلَوْ ذَهَبْتَ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْوَاحِدَةِ ثِنْتَيْنِ لَمْ يَقْوَ وَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الثِّنْتَيْنِ ثَلَاثاً لَمْ يَقْوَ وَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الثَّلَاثِ أَرْبَعاً لَمْ يَقْوَ وَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْأَرْبَعِ خَمْساً لَمْ يَقْوَ وَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْخَمْسِ سِتّاً لَمْ يَقْوَ وَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ السِّتِّ سَبْعاً لَمْ يَقْوَ وَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الدَّرَجَاتُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Ibn Muskan, from Sadeyr who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said to me: ‘The <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>s are upon levels. From them are ones upon one, and from them are ones upon two, and from them are ones upon three, and from them are ones upon four, and from them are ones upon five, and from them are ones upon six, and from them are one upon seven. So if you were to go and burden two upon the owner of the one he would not be strong enough (for it), and (burden) three upon the owner of the two he would not be strong enough (for it), and (burden) four upon the owner of the three he would not be strong enough (for it), and (burden) five upon the owner of the four he would not be strong enough (for it), and (burden) six upon the owner of the five he would not be strong enough (for it), and (burden) seven upon the owner of the six he would not be strong enough (for it). These are the levels’.
