سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَفَراً مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَرَجُوا إِلَى سَفَرٍ لَهُمْ فَضَلُّوا الطَّرِيقَ فَأَصَابَهُمْ عَطَشٌ شَدِيدٌ فَتَكَفَّنُوا وَ لَزِمُوا أُصُولَ الشَّجَرِ فَجَاءَهُمْ شَيْخٌ وَ عَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ فَقَالَ قُومُوا فَلَا بَأْسَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَهَذَا الْمَاءُ فَقَامُوا وَ شَرِبُوا وَ ارْتَوَوْا فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَنْتَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ أَنَا مِنَ الْجِنِّ الَّذِينَ بَايَعُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) يَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَخُو الْمُؤْمِنِ عَيْنُهُ وَ دَلِيلُهُ فَلَمْ تَكُونُوا تَضَيَّعُوا بِحَضْرَتِي .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, alotegether from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ismail Al Basry, from Fuzayl Bin Yasaar who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘A number of Muslims went out on a journey of theirs, and they lost the way. So they were struck by intense thirst. So they enshrouded themselves and settled by the base of the tree. Then an old man came over to them, having white clothes upon him, and he said, ‘Arise, for there is no problem upon you, for this is the water’. So they arose and drank and were quenched, and they said, ‘Who are you? May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> have Mercy on you’. So he said, ‘I am from the Jinns who pledged their allegiance to Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>. I heard Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> is a brother of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, his eye, and his guide. Thus, you will not become wasted in my presence’.
