قُلْتُ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) لَا تَنْسَنِي مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ قَالَ أَ وَ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّي أَنْسَاكَ قَالَ فَتَفَكَّرْتُ فِي نَفْسِي وَ قُلْتُ هُوَ يَدْعُو لِشِيعَتِهِ وَ أَنَا مِنْ شِيعَتِهِ قُلْتُ لَا لَا تَنْسَانِي قَالَ وَ كَيْفَ عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ قُلْتُ إِنِّي مِنْ شِيعَتِكَ وَ إِنَّكَ لَتَدْعُو لَهُمْ فَقَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ غَيْرِ هَذَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَعْلَمَ مَا لَكَ عِنْدِي فَانْظُرْ إِلَى مَا لِي عِنْدَكَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Al Hassan Bin Al Jahm who said, ‘I said to Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, ‘Do not forget me from the supplication’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And how do you know I<sup>asws</sup> might forget you?’ He said, ‘So I thought within myself, and I said, ‘He<sup>asws</sup> must be supplicating for his<sup>asws</sup> Shias, and I am from his<sup>asws</sup> Shias’. I said, ‘No, you<sup>asws</sup> will not forget me’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘And how do you know that?’ I said, ‘I am from your<sup>asws</sup> Shias, and you<sup>asws</sup> tend to supplicate for them’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Did you know with something other than this?’ I said, ‘no’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Whenever you intend to know what is for you with me<sup>asws</sup>, so look at what is for me<sup>asws</sup> in your (hearth)’.
