۞
14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from al-Husayn ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah in a marfu’ manner from Mu’alla ibn Khanis who has said the following
“Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about the rights of the believer. The Imam said, ‘There are seventy categories of rights but I will only tell you of seven; I am compassionate for you and I fear you may not be able to bear it.’ I said, ‘Yes, I will bear it, if Allah so wills.’ The Imam said, ‘You must not satisfy yourself with food while he is hungry, you must not dress up in finery while he may not have any clothes. You must be as his guide, as his shirt (a means of protection) that he wears, his tongue with which he speaks and love for him what you love for yourself. If you have a maiden servant, send her to prepare his bed and try to serve him during the day or night. If you do this you have connected your guardianship with our guardianship and with the guardianship of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy.’”
14ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَنْ حَقِّ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَقَالَ سَبْعُونَ حَقّاً لا أُخْبِرُكَ إِلا بِسَبْعَةٍ فَإِنِّي عَلَيْكَ مُشْفِقٌ أَخْشَى أَلا تَحْتَمِلَ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى إِنْ شَاءَ الله فَقَالَ لا تَشْبَعُ وَيَجُوعُ وَلا تَكْتَسِي وَيَعْرَى وَتَكُونُ دَلِيلَهُ وَقَمِيصَهُ الَّذِي يَلْبَسُهُ وَلِسَانَهُ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ وَتُحِبُّ لَهُ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ جَارِيَةٌ بَعَثْتَهَا لِتُمَهِّدَ فِرَاشَهُ وَتَسْعَى فِي حَوَائِجِهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ وَصَلْتَ وَلايَتَكَ بِوَلايَتِنَا وَوَلايَتَنَا بِوَلايَةِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ.
