1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa and Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid all from al- Hassan ibn Mahbub from Ibrahim ibn Mehzam from a man from Jabir who has said the following
“Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said that when the sun rises, there are four angels with it. One angel calls, ‘O people of good deeds, complete your good deeds and for you there is glad news.’ Another angel calls, ‘O people of evil deeds, you must stop and stay away from evil deeds.’ The other angel says, To spend for deserving causes is a saving, and to withhold such spending is a sure loss.’ One angel keeps throwing water on it; otherwise, the earth catches fire.”
1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى وَأَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مِهْزَمٍ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ لَتَطْلُعُ وَمَعَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَمْلاكٍ مَلَكٌ يُنَادِي يَا صَاحِبَ الْخَيْرِ أَتِمَّ وَأَبْشِرْ وَمَلَكٌ يُنَادِي يَا صَاحِبَ الشَّرِّ انْزِعْ وَأَقْصِرْ وَمَلَكٌ يُنَادِي أَعْطِ مُنْفِقاً خَلَفاً وَآتِ مُمْسِكاً تَلَفاً وَمَلَكٌ يَنْضَحُهَا بِالْمَاءِ وَلَوْ لا ذَلِكَ اشْتَعَلَتِ الأَرْضُ.
