Al-Kafi 2120

Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yahya Bin Al Mubarak, from Abdullah Bin Jabala, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said, ‘I went over to Abu Abdullah^asws. So he^asws looked at me by his^asws frowning face’. So I said, ‘What is that which caused you^asws to change towards me?’ He^asws said: ‘Due to your changing towards your brethren. It reached me^asws, O Is’haq, that you have made a doorman to sit at your door repelling from you the poor Shias!’ So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^asws! I fear the publicity’. So he^asws said: ‘So you are not afraid of the calamities?’ And do you not know that the <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span>, when two meet and shake hands, Allah^azwj Mighty and Majestic Sends down the Mercy upon them both? And it is so that ninety-nine (per cent) is for the one who more intensely loves his companion. So when they are concordant, the Mercy submerges them. So when they are seated discussing, the preserving Angels say to each other: ‘Let us depart, for perhaps there is a private matter for them, and Allah^azwj has Veiled upon them’. So I said, ‘Isn’t Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic saying <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:50#h18"><a href="/books/quran:50#h18">[50:18]</a></a> He utters not a word but there is by him a watcher at hand</span>?’ So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘O Is’haq! If it was so that the preserver (Recording Angel) does not hear, so the Knower of the secrets Hears and Sees’.
