كَانَ فِيمَا نَاجَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ يَا مُوسَى أَكْرِمِ السَّائِلَ بِبَذْلٍ يَسِيرٍ أَوْ بِرَدٍّ جَمِيلٍ لِأَنَّهُ يَأْتِيكَ مَنْ لَيْسَ بِإِنْسٍ وَ لَا جَانٍّ مَلَائِكَةٌ مِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَبْلُونَك فِيمَا خَوَّلْتُكَ وَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَمَّا نَوَّلْتُكَ فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ يَا ابْنَ عِمْرَانَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar, from Al Wassafy, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It was among what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Whispered with to Musa<sup>as</sup>, He<sup>azwj</sup> Said: “O Musa<sup>as</sup>! Honour the beggar with a little grace or with a beautiful return, because there would be coming to you one who is neither a human being nor a Jinn, an Angel from the Angels of the Beneficent to Test you<sup>as</sup> regarding what I<sup>azwj</sup> have Bestowed on you<sup>as</sup> and he would be asking you<sup>as</sup> about what We<sup>azwj</sup> have Given you<sup>as</sup>. Therefore consider how you<sup>as</sup> are dealing, O son<sup>as</sup> of Imran<sup>as</sup>’.
