3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) لِحُسَيْنٍ الصَّحَّافِ يَا حُسَيْنُ مَا ظَاهَرَ الله عَلَى عَبْدٍ النِّعَمَ حَتَّى ظَاهَرَ عَلَيْهِ مَئُونَةَ النَّاسِ فَمَنْ صَبَرَ لَهُمْ وَقَامَ بِشَأْنِهِمْ زَادَهُ الله فِي نِعَمِهِ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَهُمْ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَصْبِرْ لَهُمْ وَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِشَأْنِهِمْ أَزَالَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَنْهُ تِلْكَ النِّعْمَةَ.

Translation

3. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Sa‘dan ibn Muslim from Aban ibn Taghlib who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), once said to Husayn al-Sahhaf, ‘O Husayn, whenever Allah grants abundant bounties to a person, his spending for people also increases. If one remains patient for spending on people, Allah increases the bounties for him before people. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, removes the bounties from one who does not remain patient for spending on people’s affairs.’”

Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
