Am'mar ibn Hay'yan told Imam Sadiq (a.s) that his son Ismail treats him kindly. Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “I liked him too. Now I like him more. The Prophet's foster sister went to see him, and once she saw him she got happy and spread her veil for him to sit on. Then they talked and smiled for a while. She left and her brother came, but the Prophet did not treat him as warmly as he treated his sister. The Prophet of God was asked for the reason he treated his sister better than his brother. He said it is because she treats he parents kindly.”
عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال
مر إسماعيل، فقال: كنت أحبه فقد ازددت له حبا، إن رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) أتته أخت له من الرضاعة فلما نظر إليها سر بها وبسط لها ملحفته فأجلسها عليها، ثم أقبل يحدثها ويضحك في وجهها، ثم قامت فذهبت وجاء أخوها فلم يصنع به ما يصنع بها، فقيل: يا رسول الله، صنعت بأخته ما لم تصنع به وهو رجل، فقال: لأنها كانت أبر بأبويها منه.
