Hadith 717
۞
Al-Husayn b. Ibrahim b. Natana (rh) narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from his father Ibrahim b. Hashim. He said
I saw `Abdullah b. Jundab in a position, and I had not seen a position more beautiful than his position. He did not stop stretching forth his hands to the sky [in supplication] while tears ran down his cheeks and reached the ground. When the people came, I said to him: O Aba Muhammad! I have never seen a position more beautiful than your position. He said: By Allah, I only supplicated for my brothers, and that is because Aba’l Hasan Musa b. Ja`far (as) informed me that when one prays for his brother when he is away, a call is made from the Throne: “Multiplied by one hundred thousand for you” – I would hate to drop a guaranteed [supplication] that equalled one hundred thousand [acceptances] than one [supplication] that I do not know whether it will be accepted or not.
2 - حدثنا الحسين بن إبراهيم بن ناتانه (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه إبراهيم بن هاشم، قال
رأيت عبد الله بن جندب بالموقف، فلم أر موقفا أحسن من موقفه، ما زال مادا يديه إلى السماء ودموعه تسيل على خديه حتى تبلغ الارض، فلما صدر الناس قلت له: يا أبا محمد، ما رأيت موقفا أحسن من موقفك. قال: والله ما دعوت إلا لاخواني، وذلك أن أبا الحسن موسى بن جعفر (عليهما السلام) أخبرني أنه من دعا لاخيه بظهر الغيب نودي من العرش: ولك مائة ألف ضعف، فكرهت أن أدع مائة ألف ضعف مضمونة لواحدة لا أدري تستجاب أم لا (1).
