سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ مَنْ أَتَاهُ أَخُوهُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ رَحْمَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى سَاقَهَا إِلَيْهِ فَإِنْ قَبِلَ ذَلِكَ فَقَدْ وَصَلَهُ بِوَلَايَتِنَا وَ هُوَ مَوْصُولٌ بِوَلَايَةِ اللَّهِ وَ إِنْ رَدَّهُ عَنْ حَاجَتِهِ وَ هُوَ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَضَائِهَا سَلَّطَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ شُجَاعاً مِنْ نَارٍ يَنْهَشُهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَغْفُوراً لَهُ أَوْ مُعَذَّباً فَإِنْ عَذَرَهُ الطَّالِبُ كَانَ أَسْوَأَ حَالًا .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, (It has been narrated) from Ali son of Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘The one who comes over to his <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> brother regarding a need, so rather it is a Mercy from Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High being urged towards him. So if he were to accept that, so it would link him with our<sup>asws</sup> Wilayah, and it is linked with the Wilayah of Allah<sup>azwj</sup>; and if he were to repel him from his need while he is able upon its fulfilment, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Cause a hydra of fire to overcome him in his grave, gnawing him up to the Day of Judgement, be it as a Forgiveness for him or a Punishment. If in such case (in need of help) the needy accepts his excuse it will be much worse for him’.
