۞
Hadith.4974 - Safwan ibn Yahya narrated from Abu Al-Hasan (as) regarding the saying of Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic: "O' my father, hire him! Indeed, the best one you can hire is the strong and trustworthy" (Surah Al-Qasas, 28:26).
Imam (as) said
"Shu'ayb (as) said to his daughter, My daughter, he is strong as you recognized by his lifting of the rock, but how did you know he is trustworthy?'
She replied: O' my father, I was walking ahead of him, and he said to me, Walk behind me, and if I go astray, guide me to the path, for we are a people who do not look at the backs of women.'"
4974 - وَ رَوَى صَفْوَانُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي اَلْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ : فِي قَوْلِ اَللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ:
يٰا أَبَتِ اِسْتَأْجِرْهُ إِنَّ خَيْرَ مَنِ اِسْتَأْجَرْتَ اَلْقَوِيُّ اَلْأَمِينُ
قَالَ
"قَالَ لَهَا شُعَيْبٌ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَا بُنَيَّةِ هَذَا قَوِيٌّ قَدْ عَرَفْتِهِ بِرَفْعِ اَلصَّخْرَةِ اَلْأَمِينُ مِنْ أَيْنَ عَرَفْتِهِ قَالَتْ يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي مَشَيْتُ قُدَّامَهُ فَقَالَ اِمْشِي مِنْ خَلْفِي فَإِنْ ضَلَلْتُ فَأَرْشِدِينِي إِلَى اَلطَّرِيقِ فَإِنَّا قَوْمٌ لاَ نَنْظُرُ فِي أَدْبَارِ اَلنِّسَاءِ".
