سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ لَا يَكُونُ الرَّجُلُ عَابِداً حَتَّى يَكُونَ حَلِيماً وَ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ كَانَ إِذَا تَعَبَّدَ فِي بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَمْ يُعَدَّ عَابِداً حَتَّى يَصْمُتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin isa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr, from Muhammad Bin Ubeydullah who said, ‘I heard Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The man cannot become a worshipper until he becomes forbearing, and it was so among the Children of Israel, that a worshipper was not counted as a worshipper until he was silent for ten years before that’.
Compiled by Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ya'qub al-Kulayni
