قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ لِلْمَعْرُوفِ أَهْلًا مِنْ خَلْقِهِ حَبَّبَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَعَالَهُ وَ وَجَّهَ لِطُلَّابِ الْمَعْرُوفِ الطَّلَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ يَسَّرَ لَهُمْ قَضَاءَهُ كَمَا يَسَّرَ الْغَيْثَ لِلْأَرْضِ الْمُجْدِبَةِ لِيُحْيِيَهَا وَ يُحْيِيَ بِهِ أَهْلَهَا وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَعَلَ لِلْمَعْرُوفِ أَعْدَاءً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ بَغَّضَ إِلَيْهِمُ الْمَعْرُوفَ وَ بَغَّضَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَعَالَهُ وَ حَظَرَ عَلَى طُلَّابِ الْمَعْرُوفِ الطَّلَبَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ حَظَرَ عَلَيْهِمْ قَضَاءَهُ كَمَا يُحَرِّمُ الْغَيْثَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ الْمُجْدِبَةِ لِيُهْلِكَهَا وَ يُهْلِكَ أَهْلَهَا وَ مَا يَعْفُو اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Dawood Al Raqqy, from Abu Hamza Al Sumaly who said, ‘Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Made for the acts of kindness for the rightful ones from His<sup>azwj</sup> creatures, Causing it to be beloved to them, so they do it; and He<sup>azwj</sup> Directed the seekers of the acts of kindness to seek from them, and Caused its fulfilment to be easy for them, just like the ease of the rain for the arid land and its inhabitants get revived by it. And Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Made for the acts of kindness enemies from His<sup>azwj</sup> creatures, the acts of kindness being hateful to them, and doing it being hateful to them, and cautioned the seekers of the acts of kindness from seeking from them, and cautioned its fulfilment upon them, just as He<sup>azwj</sup> Prohibits abundant rain to fall on barren land to destroy it and its inhabitants; however, Allah’s Forgiveness is in Abundance’.
