جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَقَالَ عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلًا أَدْخُلُ بِهِ الْجَنَّةَ فَقَالَ أَطْعِمِ الطَّعَامَ وَ أَفْشِ السَّلَامَ قَالَ فَقَالَ لَا أُطِيقُ ذَلِكَ قَالَ فَهَلْ لَكَ إِبِلٌ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَانْظُرْ بَعِيراً وَ اسْقِ عَلَيْهِ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ لَا يَشْرَبُونَ الْمَاءَ إِلَّا غِبّاً فَلَعَلَّهُ لَا يَنْفُقُ بَعِيرُكَ وَ لَا يَنْخَرِقُ سِقَاؤُكَ حَتَّى تَجِبَ لَكَ الْجَنَّةُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah, from Yahya Bin Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad, from his father, from his grandfather, (It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘A Bedouin came over to the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>, so he said, ‘Teach me a deed by which I can enter the Paradise’. So he<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Feed the food, and initiate the greeting’. So he said, ‘I cannot endure that’. He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘So is there a camel for you?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘So prepare a camel and usher to it a family who are not drinking the water except for intermittently. Thus, they would neither exhaust your camel nor would they damage your water container, until the Paradise is Obligated for you’.
