قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ أَبِي قَدْ كَبِرَ جِدّاً وَ ضَعُفَ فَنَحْنُ نَحْمِلُهُ إِذَا أَرَادَ الْحَاجَةَ فَقَالَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَلِيَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ فَافْعَلْ وَ لَقِّمْهُ بِيَدِكَ فَإِنَّهُ جُنَّةٌ لَكَ غَداً .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf Bin Ameyra, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Ibrahim Bin Shuayb who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘My father has aged a lot and weakened, so we carry him when he has the need’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘If you have the capacity to follow that from him, then do so, and feed him morsels with your hand, for it would be a shield for you tomorrow (in the Hereafter)’.
