9. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad from Shihab ibn ‘Abd Rabbihi who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said to me, ‘Even if you find enough reason to believe that this task (the rise of al-Qa’im with divine authority) will take place tomorrow, still you must not neglect work for a living. If you cannot complete the work do (what you can)”’
9- عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ شِهَابِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) إِنْ ظَنَنْتَ أَوْ بَلَغَكَ أَنَّ هَذَا الأمْرَ كَائِنٌ فِي غَدٍ فَلا تَدَعَنَّ طَلَبَ الرِّزْقِ وَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ لا تَكُونَ كَلا فَافْعَلْ.
