595. Ali Bin Ibrahim, by an unbroken chain, said: ‘Abu Abdullah (asws) said to a man: ‘What are considered to be the young ones (Al-Fati) among you?’ He said to him (asws), ‘The youth’. So he (asws) said; ‘No! Al-Fati is the Believer. The Companions of the Cave (As’haab Al-Kahf) were old people, Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Called them ‘Young men’ due to their belief’.
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) لِرَجُلٍ مَا الْفَتَى عِنْدَكُمْ فَقَالَ لَهُ الشَّابُّ فَقَالَ لَا الْفَتَى الْمُؤْمِنُ إِنَّ أَصْحَابَ الْكَهْفِ كَانُوا شُيُوخاً فَسَمَّاهُمُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِتْيَةً بِإِيمَانِهِمْ.
