كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَدَخَلَ عِيسَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُمِّيُّ فَرَحَّبَ بِهِ وَ قَرَّبَ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا عِيسَى بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ لَيْسَ مِنَّا وَ لَا كَرَامَةَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي مِصْرٍ فِيهِ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ وَ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمِصْرِ أَحَدٌ أَوْرَعَ مِنْهُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Abu Zayd, from his father who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and Isa Bin Abdullah Al-Qummy came over. So he<sup>asws</sup> welcomed him and seated him near to him<sup>asws</sup>. Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Isa Bin Abdullah! He is not from us, and there is no prestige, the one who was in a city wherein were one hundred thousand or more, and in that city there was one who was more devout than him’.
