قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ تَظَاهَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللَّهِ نِعْمَةٌ إِلَّا اشْتَدَّتْ مَئُونَةُ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَقُمْ لِلنَّاسِ بِحَوَائِجِهِمْ فَقَدْ عَرَّضَ النِّعْمَةَ لِلزَّوَالِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَقُومَ لِهَذَا الْخَلْقِ بِحَوَائِجِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَ اللَّهِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ .
Translation
<span style="font-size: small">Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, from Abu Ayoub Al Madany, a slave of the Clan of Hashim</span><sup>as</sup><span style="font-size: small">, from Dawood Bin Abdullah Bin Muhammad Al Ja’fary, from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad who said, </span> ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> There is none from a Believer upon whom the Bounties of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> are Manifested except that he should intensify the provision of the people upon it. So the one who does not stand for the people with their needs, so he has declined the Bounties (which were on its way to him)’. So I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! And who has the ability that he would stand for these people with their needs?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘But rather, the people in this subject matter, by Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, are the Believers’.
