Al-Husayn b. Ahmad b. Idris (ra) narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to us from Muhammad b. al-Husayn b. Abi’l Khattab from `Ali b. Asbat from Malik b. Masma` b. Malik from Sama`a b. Mehran from Abi `Abdillah al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad (as). He said
O Sama`a! There are four problems that a believer will not escape: (1) A neighbour that will harm him, (2) a devil that will deceive him, (3) a hypocrite that will follow him, and (4) a believer that will envy him. I said: May I be your sacrifice! A believer that envies him? He said: O Sama`a! He is the harshest of them. I said: How is that? He said: Because he will say something against him, and he will be believed in that.
12 - حدثنا الحسين بن أحمد بن إدريس (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن علي بن أسباط، عن مالك بن مسمع بن مالك، عن سماعة بن مهران، عن أبي عبد الله الصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليهما السلام)، قال
قال: يا سماعة، لا ينفك المؤمن من خصال أربع: من جار يؤذيه، وشيطان يغويه، ومنافق يقفو أثره، ومؤمن يحسده. قلت: جعلت فداك، مؤمن يحسده؟ قال: يا سماعة، أما إنه أشدهم عليه. قلت: وكيف ذاك؟ قال: لانه يقول فيه القول فيصدق عليه (4).
