Arabic text

11ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَسْبَاطٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لَقِيَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ (عَلَيهِما السَّلام) عَبْدَ الله بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الله كَيْفَ يَكُونُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِناً وَهُوَ يَسْخَطُ قِسْمَهُ وَيُحَقِّرُ مَنْزِلَتَهُ وَالْحَاكِمُ عَلَيْهِ الله وَأَنَا الضَّامِنُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَهْجُسْ فِي قَلْبِهِ إِلا الرِّضَا أَنْ يَدْعُوَ الله فَيُسْتَجَابَ لَهُ.

Translation

11. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Muhammad ibn Ali from Ali ibn Asbat from those whom he has mentioned from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Al-Hasan ibn Ali (a.s.) once met ‘Abd Allah ibn Ja’far and said to him, ‘O ‘Abd Allah, how can a believer be a believer when he is dissatisfied with the decision of Allah about his share and belittles his position while the ruler over him is Allah? I guarantee that Allah accepts the prayer of one in whose heart (mind) no suggestion takes place except satisfaction with the decisions of Allah.’”
