لَمَّا أُسْرِيَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) قَالَ يَا رَبِّ مَا حَالُ الْمُؤْمِنِ عِنْدَكَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ أَهَانَ لِي وَلِيّاً فَقَدْ بَارَزَنِي بِالْمُحَارَبَةِ وَ أَنَا أَسْرَعُ شَيْءٍ إِلَى نُصْرَةِ أَوْلِيَائِي وَ مَا تَرَدَّدْتُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ كَتَرَدُّدِي عَنْ وَفَاةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهُ وَ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ لَا يُصْلِحُهُ إِلَّا الْغِنَى وَ لَوْ صَرَفْتُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ لَهَلَكَ وَ إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ لَا يُصْلِحُهُ إِلَّا الْفَقْرُ وَ لَوْ صَرَفْتُهُ إِلَى غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ لَهَلَكَ وَ مَا يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيَّ عَبْدٌ مِنْ عِبَادِي بِشَيْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيَّ مِمَّا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيَّ بِالنَّافِلَةِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتُ إِذاً سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ وَ بَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ وَ لِسَانَهُ الَّذِي يَنْطِقُ بِهِ وَ يَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطِشُ بِهَا إِنْ دَعَانِي أَجَبْتُهُ وَ إِنْ سَأَلَنِي أَعْطَيْتُهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Abu Saeed Al Qammat, from Aban Bin Taghlub, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When there was Ascension (<span class="iTxt">Mi’raj</span>) with the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! What is the state of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Presence?’ He<sup>azwj</sup> Said: “O Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>! The one who despises a friend of Mine<sup>azwj</sup>, so he has declared a war against Me<sup>azwj</sup> and I<sup>azwj</sup> am the Quickest to Helping My<sup>azwj</sup> friends and I<sup>azwj</sup> do not Hesitate from anything which I<sup>azwj</sup> Do like I<sup>azwj</sup> Hesitate from the death of the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>. He dislikes the death and I<sup>azwj</sup> Dislike Disappointing him. And from My<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span> servants there is one for whom it is not correct except for the riches, and were I<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> to Exchange it to other than that, he would be destroyed; and from My<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> <span class="iTxt">Momineen</span> servants there is one for whom it is not correct except for the poverty, and were I<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> to Exchange it to other than that, he would be destroyed. And a servant will not (be able to) come near to Me<sup>azwj</sup> with anything more Beloved to Me<sup>azwj</sup> than what I<sup>azwj</sup> have Obligated upon him, and let him come closer to Me<sup>azwj</sup> with the Optional (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>) until I<sup>azwj</sup> Love him. So when I<sup>azwj</sup> do Love him, I<sup>azwj</sup> would be the hearing which he listens with, and his vision which he sees with, and his tongue which he speaks with, and his hand which he strikes with. If he were to supplicate to Me<sup>azwj</sup>, I<sup>azwj</sup> would Answer him, and if he were to ask Me<sup>azwj</sup>, I<sup>azwj</sup> would Give it to him”’.
