قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مِنْ إِجْلَالِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِجْلَالُ الْمُؤْمِنِ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ وَ مَنْ أَكْرَمَ مُؤْمِناً فَبِكَرَامَةِ اللَّهِ بَدَأَ وَ مَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِمُؤْمِنٍ ذِي شَيْبَةٍ أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَسْتَخِفُّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ .
Translation
From him, from his father, from Abu Nahshal, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘From the respect of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic is respecting the <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> with old age; and the one who honours a <span class="iTxt">Momin</span>, so he has begun by honouring Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and the one takes lightly with a <span class="iTxt">Momin</span> with old age, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Send him one who would take lightly with him before his death’.
