Hadith 230
۞
26. And with the first chain of narration, from ‘Ali ibn Mahzyar, from ‘Ali ibn al-Nu’man, from Dawood ibn Farqad, who said
I heard Abu Abdillah Ja’far ibn Muhammad, peace be upon both of them, say: "Surely, the righteous deeds will go to the Paradise to prepare for theirs doers, the way a person sends his servant to furnish for him. Then he recited: ’And as for those who believe, and do righteous deeds, they prepare for their own souls’ (al-Rum, 30:44)."
26 - وبالإسناد الأول عن علي بن مهزيار: عن علي بن النعمان، عن داود بن فرقد قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله جعفر بن محمد صلوات الله عليهما يقول: إن العمل الصالح ليذهب إلى الجنة فيمهد لصاحبه كما يبعث الرجل غلامه فيفرش له. ثم قرأ: " وأما الذين آمنوا وعملوا الصالحات فلأنفسهم يمهدون " .
