قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) تَنَافَسُوا فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ لِإِخْوَانِكُمْ وَ كُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَإِنَّ لِلْجَنَّةِ بَاباً يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمَعْرُوفُ لَا يَدْخُلُهُ إِلَّا مَنِ اصْطَنَعَ الْمَعْرُوفَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَمْشِي فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَيُوَكِّلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مَلَكَيْنِ وَاحِداً عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ آخَرَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ يَسْتَغْفِرَانِ لَهُ رَبَّهُ وَ يَدْعُوَانِ بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ لَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) أَسَرُّ بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا وَصَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْحَاجَةِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Muhammad Bin Awrama, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from his father, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Compete with each other regarding the good works to your bretheren, and become from its deserving ones, for the Paradise has a Door called ‘The good works’, none shall enter it except the one who did the good works during the life of the world. So if the servant were to walk regarding a need of his <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> brother, Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic would Allocate two Angels to him, one on his right and the other on his left, both seeking Forgiveness for him from his Lord<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, and both supplicating for the fulfilment of his needs’. Then he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘By Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>! Rasool-Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> was more joyful with the fulfilment of a need of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> when it (news) arrived to him<sup style="font-weight: normal">saww</sup> than the needy one was himself’.
