Arabic text

1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَشْيَاخِ بَنِي النَّجَاشِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ رَأْسُ طَاعَةِ الله الصَّبْرُ وَالرِّضَا عَنِ الله فِيمَا أَحَبَّ الْعَبْدُ أَوْ كَرِهَ وَلا يَرْضَى عَبْدٌ عَنِ الله فِيمَإ؛ّّ أَحَبَّ أَوْ كَرِهَ إِلا كَانَ خَيْراً لَهُ فِيمَا أَحَبَّ أَوْ كَرِهَ.

Translation

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Jamil ibn Salih from certain shaykhs of Banu al-Najashi from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The head of obedience to Allah is patience and satisfaction with Allah in all matters whether a servant may love or dislike doing so. And a servant is not satisfied with Allah's decree in what he loves or dislikes except that it is better for him in what he loves or dislikes.”
