Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “When Benjamin left Jacob, Jacob said: “O' God! Will you not have Mercy on me? You took my sight, and my son.” The Almighty God revealed: “I would have even resurrected them to be at your side if they had died. But remember the sheep you slaughtered, cooked and ate while your neighbor was fasting, and you did not give him any.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
