5ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مِهْرَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فِي قَوْلِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطى‏ وَاتَّقى‏ وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنى‏ بِأَنَّ الله تَعَالَى يُعْطِي بِالْوَاحِدَةِ عَشَرَةً إِلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ فَمَا زَادَ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرى‏ قَالَ لا يُرِيدُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْخَيْرِ إِلاَّ يَسَّرَهُ الله لَهُ وَأَمَّا مَنْ بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنى‏ قَالَ بَخِلَ بِمَا آتَاهُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنى‏ بِأَنَّ الله يُعْطِي بِالْوَاحِدَةِ عَشَرَةً إِلَى مِائَةِ أَلْفٍ فَمَا زَادَ فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرى‏ قَالَ لا يُرِيدُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الشَّرِّ إِلاَّ يَسَّرَهُ لَهُ وَما يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مالُهُ إِذا تَرَدَّى قَالَ أَمَا وَالله مَا هُوَ تَرَدَّى فِي بِئْرٍ وَلا مِنْ جَبَلٍ وَلا مِنْ حَائِطٍ وَلَكِنْ تَرَدَّى فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ.

Translation

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mehran ibn Muhammad from Sa‘d ibn Tarif who has said the following: “This is about the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, ‘. . . As far as the one who gives (charity), observes piety and believes in good words (receiving good rewards from Allah). . . .’, Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘To such people Allah gives a tenfold reward or up to one hundred and even more.’ ‘. . . We make it easy for his comfort . . .’ the Imam said, ‘He does not do anything but that Allah makes it easy for him to achieve.’ ‘. . . As far the one who is stingy and rich . . .’ the Imam said, ‘He is stingy in what Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has granted him.’ ‘. . . and rejects the good words (receiving rewards from Allah) . . . ’ the Imam said, ‘It is Allah’s promise of tenfold reward for giving charity up to one hundred thousand or even more.’ ‘. . . We will soon make it difficult for him . . .’ the Imam said, ‘Whatever evil things he wants is made easy for him.’ ‘. . . His wealth does not help him when he falls . . .’ (92:4-11), the Imam said, ‘This is not a fall into a well, from the top of a mountain, or from a wall. It is a fall into hellfire.””
