6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) كَانَ أَبَا أَضْيَافٍ فَكَانَ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا عِنْدَهُ خَرَجَ يَطْلُبُهُمْ وَأَغْلَقَ بَابَهُ وَأَخَذَ الْمَفَاتِيحَ يَطْلُبُ الأَضْيَافَ وَإِنَّهُ رَجَعَ إِلَى دَارِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلٍ أَوْ شِبْهِ رَجُلٍ فِي الدَّارِ فَقَالَ يَا عَبْدَ الله بِإِذْنِ مَنْ دَخَلْتَ هَذِهِ الدَّارَ قَالَ دَخَلْتُهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهَا يُرَدِّدُ ذَلِكَ ثَلاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَعَرَفَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) أَنَّهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ فَحَمِدَ الله ثُمَّ قَالَ أَرْسَلَنِي رَبُّكَ إِلَى عَبْدٍ مِنْ عَبِيدِهِ يَتَّخِذُهُ خَلِيلاً قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَأَعْلِمْنِي مَنْ هُوَ أَخْدُمْهُ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ قَالَ فَأَنْتَ هُوَ قَالَ وَمِمَّ ذَلِكَ قَالَ لأَنَّكَ لَمْ تَسْأَلْ أَحَداً شَيْئاً قَطُّ وَلَمْ تُسْأَلْ شَيْئاً قَطُّ فَقُلْتَ لا.
6. Ali ibn Muhammad ibn ‘ Abd Allah has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from certain individuals of our people from Aban ibn Mu‘awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Zayd al-Shahham who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that Ibrahim (a.s.), was the father of guest- entertaining people. Whenever he did not have a guest, he would go out to search for a guest. He would close his door and take the keys with him when looking for guests. Once he returned home and found a person, or someone similar to a person, in his house. He asked, ‘Who are you, O servant of Allah and by whose permission have you come here?’ He replied, ‘I have come here by the permission of the owner of the house,’ and repeated it three times. Ibrahim then realized that he is Jibril. He thanked Allah and said, ‘Your Lord has sent me to one of His servants whom He has chosen as His friend.’ Ibrahim then said, ‘You should inform me, who is he so I serve him until the time of my death?’ He (Jibril) replied, ‘That person is yourself.’ He (Ibrahim) asked, ‘Why is that?’ He (Jibril) replied, ‘It is because you have never asked anyone for help and you are never asked.’ I said, ‘No, it has not happened.’”
