قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ إِخْوَتِي وَ بَنِي عَمِّي قَدْ ضَيَّقُوا عَلَيَّ الدَّارَ وَ أَلْجَئُونِي مِنْهَا إِلَى بَيْتٍ وَ لَوْ تَكَلَّمْتُ أَخَذْتُ مَا فِي أَيْدِيهِمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِيَ اصْبِرْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيَجْعَلُ لَكَ فَرَجاً قَالَ فَانْصَرَفْتُ وَ وَقَعَ الْوَبَاءُ فِي سَنَةِ إِحْدَى وَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَ مِائَةٍ فَمَاتُوا وَ اللَّهِ كُلُّهُمْ فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَلَمَّا دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ مَا حَالُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ قَدْ مَاتُوا وَ اللَّهِ كُلُّهُمْ فَمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ هُوَ بِمَا صَنَعُوا بِكَ وَ بِعُقُوقِهِمْ إِيَّاكَ وَ قَطْعِ رَحِمِهِمْ بُتِرُوا أَ تُحِبُّ أَنَّهُمْ بَقُوا وَ أَنَّهُمْ ضَيَّقُوا عَلَيْكَ قَالَ قُلْتُ إِي وَ اللَّهِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, Usman Bin Isa, from one of our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘My brothers and the sons of my uncle have constricted the house upon me and thrown me out from it to (another) house, and were I to speak to them, I could take what is in their hands’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Be patient, for Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would be Making a relief to be for you’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I left, and a plague occurred in the year one hundred and thirty one, so they (all died), by Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, all of them, and there did not remain (even) one from them. So I went out, and when I came over to him<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>, he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘What is the state of your family?’ I said to him<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>, ‘They have died, by Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>, all of them. So there does not remain (even) one’. So he<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> said: ‘It is due to what they did with you and their disloyalty to you, and severing your relationship with a cutting off. Would you love it if they were to remain (alive) and they had constricted (life) upon you?’ I said, ‘Yes, by Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>’.
