تَقَبَّضْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رُبَّمَا حَزِنْتُ مِنْ غَيْرِ مُصِيبَةٍ تُصِيبُنِي أَوْ أَمْرٍ يَنْزِلُ بِي حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ ذَلِكَ أَهْلِي فِي وَجْهِي وَ صَدِيقِي فَقَالَ نَعَمْ يَا جَابِرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ طِينَةِ الْجِنَانِ وَ أَجْرَى فِيهِمْ مِنْ رِيحِ رُوحِهِ فَلِذَلِكَ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ لِأَبِيهِ وَ أُمِّهِ فَإِذَا أَصَابَ رُوحاً مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَرْوَاحِ فِي بَلَدٍ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ حُزْنٌ حَزِنَتْ هَذِهِ لِأَنَّهَا مِنْهَا .
Translation
From him, from his father, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Umar Bin Aban, from Jabir Al Ju’fy who said, ‘I felt uneasy in front of Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup>, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! Sometimes I panic from without there being a difficulty hitting me, or a matter descending upon me to the extent my family and my friends recognise that in my face’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Yes, O Jabir! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Created the <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span> from the clay of Paradise, and Caused a spirit from His<sup>azwj</sup> Spirit to flow among them. Thus, due to that, the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> is a brother of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, of his father and his mother. Therefore, if a spirit from those spirits, in a city from the cities, were to be struck by grief, this one would (also) be grieved because it is from these’.
