قَالَ لِي يَا مُفَضَّلُ اسْمَعْ مَا أَقُولُ لَكَ وَ اعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ وَ افْعَلْهُ وَ أَخْبِرْ بِهِ عِلْيَةَ إِخْوَانِكَ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَا عِلْيَةُ إِخْوَانِي قَالَ الرَّاغِبُونَ فِي قَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِ إِخْوَانِهِمْ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ مَنْ قَضَى لِأَخِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ حَاجَةً قَضَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَاجَةٍ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوَّلُهَا الْجَنَّةُ وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُدْخِلَ قَرَابَتَهُ وَ مَعَارِفَهُ وَ إِخْوَانَهُ الْجَنَّةَ بَعْدَ أَنْ لَا يَكُونُوا نُصَّاباً وَ كَانَ الْمُفَضَّلُ إِذَا سَأَلَ الْحَاجَةَ أَخاً مِنْ إِخْوَانِهِ قَالَ لَهُ أَ مَا تَشْتَهِي أَنْ تَكُونَ مِنْ عِلْيَةِ الْإِخْوَانِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Bakkar Bin Kardam, from Al Mufazzal, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘O Mufazzal! Listen to what I<sup>asws</sup> am saying to you, and know that it is the truth, and do it (yourself) and inform your brothers of the high social standing’. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! And what are my brothers of ‘high social standing’?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Those who are interested in fulfilling the needs of their brethren’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And the one who fulfils a need of his <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> brother, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would Fulfil for him a hundred thousand needs of the Day of Judgement – from that the first one is the Paradise, and from that is that he would enter his relatives and his acquaintances, and his brethren into the Paradise, after (it is clarified) that they do not happen to be Hostile ones (<span class="iTxt">Nasibis</span>)’. And it was so that whenever Al-Mufazzal (the narrator) asked for a need from a brother from his brethren, said to him, ‘Do you not desire that you happen to be from the brethren of high social standing?’
