رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ جُنْدَبٍ بِالْمَوْقِفِ فَلَمْ أَرَ مَوْقِفاً كَانَ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ مَوْقِفِهِ مَا زَالَ مَادّاً يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ دُمُوعُهُ تَسِيلُ عَلَى خَدَّيْهِ حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ الْأَرْضَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ النَّاسُ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا رَأَيْتُ مَوْقِفاً قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْ مَوْقِفِكَ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَّا لِإِخْوَانِي وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ( عليه السلام ) أَخْبَرَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ دَعَا لِأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ نُودِيَ مِنَ الْعَرْشِ وَ لَكَ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ ضِعْفِ مِثْلِهِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَدَعَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ ضِعْفٍ مَضْمُونَةً لِوَاحِدٍ لَا أَدْرِي يُسْتَجَابُ أَمْ لَا .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father who said, ‘I saw Abu Abdullah Bin Jundub at the Pausing Station, and I had not seen a pausing which was better than his pausing. He did not cease to extend his hand towards the sky, and his tears were flowing upon his cheeks until they reached the ground. So when the people left, I said to him, ‘O Abu Muhammad! I have not seen a pause at all to be better than your pausing’. He said, ‘I did not supplicate except for my brethren, and that is because Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> Bin Ja’far<sup>asws</sup> informed me that the one who supplicates for his brother in absence, would be Called out from the Throne, and for you would be a hundred thousand multiple of the likes of his’. Therefore, I disliked that I should leave a guaranteed multiple of a hundred thousand, for one which I do not even know whether I would be Answered for or not’.
