كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو الْوَرْدِ فَقَالَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ إِنَّكَ لَوْ كُنْتَ أَرَحْتَ بَدَنَكَ مِنَ الْمَحْمِلِ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَا أَبَا الْوَرْدِ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَشْهَدَ الْمَنَافِعَ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لِيَشْهَدُوا مَنافِعَ لَهُمْ إِنَّهُ لَا يَشْهَدُهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا نَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَتَرْجِعُونَ مَغْفُوراً لَكُمْ وَ أَمَّا غَيْرُكُمْ فَيُحْفَظُونَ فِي أَهَالِيهِمْ وَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ .
Translation
Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan, from Abu Al Magra’a, from Salma Bin Muhriz who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> when a man called Abu Al-Wardi came over. So he said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May Allah<sup>azwj</sup> have Mercy on you<sup>asws</sup>! You<sup>asws</sup>, if only you<sup>asws</sup> would rest your<sup>asws</sup> body from the carriage’. So Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Abu Al-Wardi! I<sup>asws</sup> love it that I<sup>asws</sup> witness the benefits which Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Blessed and High Speaks of <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:22#h28"><a href="/books/quran:22#h28">[22:28]</a></a> That they may witness benefits for them</span>. No one has witnessed these except that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> has Benefited him. As for you, so you are returning having been Forgiven for you, and as for the others, so they are Protected with regards to their families and their wealth’.
