قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ( عليه السلام ) يَا ابْنَ عَرَفَةَ إِنَّ النِّعَمَ كَالْإِبِلِ الْمُعْتَقَلَةِ فِي عَطَنِهَا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ مَا أَحْسَنُوا جِوَارَهَا فَإِذَا أَسَاءُوا مُعَامَلَتَهَا وَ إِنَالَتَهَا نَفَرَتْ عَنْهُمْ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd, from Muhammad Bin Arafat who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Ibn Arafat! The Bounty is like the camel detained in its enclosure. It is upon the group of people how good they are in its vicinity. So if they are bad in its affairs and its treatment, it would flee from them’.
