4. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al- Hamid from Ishaq ibn Ghalib who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) once asked, ‘O Ishaq, how many people can you find to whom this verse, ‘ . . . They are pleased when you give them something from it, but if they receive nothing, they become angry with you,’ (9:58) applies? The Imam then said, ‘They are more than two thirds of the people.’”

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَا إِسْحَاقُ كَمْ تَرَى أَهْلَ هَذِهِ الآيَةِ فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا مِنْها رَضُوا وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْها إِذا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ثُلُثَيِ النَّاسِ.
