2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْمَدَنِيِّ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ تَظَاهَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الله نِعْمَةٌ إِلاَّ اشْتَدَّتْ مَئُونَةُ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ فَمَنْ لَمْ يَقُمْ لِلنَّاسِ بِحَوَائِجِهِمْ فَقَدْ عَرَّضَ النِّعْمَةَ لِلزَّوَالِ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَمَنْ يَقْدِرُ أَنْ يَقُومَ لِهَذَا الْخَلْقِ بِحَوَائِجِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ وَالله الْمُؤْمِنُونَ.

Translation

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy from abu Ayyub al-Madaniy, Mawla banu Hashim from Dawud ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Ja’fariy from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Whoever finds himself with an abundance of Allah’s bounties, increases his spending for people. One who does not help people exposes the bounties to losses.’ I (the narrator) said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause. Who can spend to help all these creatures?’ He (the Imam) said, ‘The people there, by Allah, are the believing people.’”
