قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) لِحُسَيْنٍ الصَّحَّافِ يَا حُسَيْنُ مَا ظَاهَرَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ النِّعَمَ حَتَّى ظَاهَرَ عَلَيْهِ مَئُونَةَ النَّاسِ فَمَنْ صَبَرَ لَهُمْ وَ قَامَ بِشَأْنِهِمْ زَادَهُ اللَّهُ فِي نِعَمِهِ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَهُمْ وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَصْبِرْ لَهُمْ وَ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِشَأْنِهِمْ أَزَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْهُ تِلْكَ النِّعْمَةَ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from his father, from Sa’dan Bin Muslim, from Aban Bin Taghlub who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> to Husayn Al-Sahhaf: ‘O Husayn! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> does not Extend the Bounties upon a servant until he passes on the provisions upon the people. So the one who is patient to them and stands with their concerns, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Increase in His<sup>azwj</sup> Bounties upon him with them, and the one who is not patient to them and does not stand with their concerns, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Stops from him that Bounty’.
