سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلَدٌ فَوُلِدَ لَهُ غُلَامٌ وَ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ لَيْلَةَ عُرْسِهِ فَمَكَثَ الْغُلَامُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ عُرْسِهِ نَظَرَ إِلَى شَيْخٍ كَبِيرٍ ضَعِيفٍ فَرَحِمَهُ الْغُلَامُ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَطْعَمَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ السَّائِلُ أَحْيَيْتَنِي أَحْيَاكَ اللَّهُ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ آتٍ فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلِ ابْنَكَ مَا صَنَعَ فَسَأَلَهُ فَخَبَّرَهُ بِصَنِيعِهِ قَالَ فَأَتَاهُ الْآتِي مَرَّةً أُخْرَى فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَحْيَا لَكَ ابْنَكَ بِمَا صَنَعَ بِالشَّيْخِ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhmmad, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Washa, (It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassan<sup>asws</sup>, said, ‘I heard him<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘There was a man from the Children of Israel, and there did not happen to be a child for him. So, a son was born for him, and it was said to him, ‘He would be dying on the night of his wedding’. So the boy remained. So when it was the night of his wedding, he looked at an old (and a) weak man. So the boy felt pity on him, and he called for his meal. So the beggar said to him, ‘You have revived me, may Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Revive you’. He<sup>asws</sup> said, ‘So a comer came to him in the sleep, and said to him, ‘Ask your son what he did’. So he asked him, and he informed him with what he had done. He<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Revived for you, your son, due to what he did with the old man’.
