قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) نَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى هَذَا الْأَمْرِ فَقَالَ يَا فُضَيْلُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ بِعَبْدٍ خَيْراً أَمَرَ مَلَكاً فَأَخَذَ بِعُنُقِهِ حَتَّى أَدْخَلَهُ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ طَائِعاً أَوْ كَارِهاً .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from Al Fuzayl who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘We tend to invite the people to this matter (Al-Wilayah)’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Fuzayl! Whenever Allah Intends goodness with a servant, Commands an Angels, so he seizes him by his neck until he enter him into this matter (Al-Wilayah), willingly or unwillingly’.
