Hadith 2253
۞
5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from abu Nahshal from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following
“Once Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) said to me, ‘It is respecting Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, to respect an old believing person. Whoever honors an old believing person has begun (with) honoring Allah. Whoever disrespects an old believing person, Allah will send to him someone who will disrespect him before his death.’”
5ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي نَهْشَلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مِنْ إِجْلالِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِجْلالُ الْمُؤْمِنِ ذِي الشَّيْبَةِ وَمَنْ أَكْرَمَ مُؤْمِناً فَبِكَرَامَةِ الله بَدَأَ وَمَنِ اسْتَخَفَّ بِمُؤْمِنٍ ذِي شَيْبَةٍ أَرْسَلَ الله إِلَيْهِ مَنْ يَسْتَخِفُّ بِهِ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ.
