7. He said: Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad reported to me from his father, from Sa’d ibn Abdillah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa from al-Hasan ibn Mahboob, from al-Ula ibn Razeen ibn al-Qalla, from Abdullah ibn Abi Ya’foor, who reported that
Abu Ja’far, peace be upon him, said: "The poor faithfuls shall be moving about in the gardens of Paradise for forty years before the rich faithfuls reach there." Then he said: "I will give you an example. It is just like two ships passing by a tax collector. He sees one and finds nothing in it, so he allows it to pass by swiftly. Then he looks into the other, and finds it loaded fully. So he stops it."
7 - قال: أخبرني أبو الحسن أحمد بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن سعد بن عبد الله، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن الحسن بن محبوب، عن العلاء بن رزين القلاء، عن عبد الله بن أبي يعفور، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام قال
إن فقراء المؤمنين ينقلبون في رياض الجنة قبل أغنيائهم بأربعين خريفا ، ثم قال: سأضرب لك مثال ذلك، إنما مثل ذلك مثل سفينتين مر بهما على عاشر فنظر في إحديهما فلم يجد فيها شيئا، فقال: أسربوها ، ونظر في الأخرى فإذا هي موقرة ، فقال: احبسوها.
