الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ لِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ حَافِظٌ وَ سَائِبٌ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الْحَافِظُ وَ مَا السَّائِبُ يَا أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ الْحَافِظُ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى حَافِظٌ مِنَ الْوَلَايَةِ يَحْفَظُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنَ أَيْنَمَا كَانَ وَ أَمَّا السَّائِبُ فَبِشَارَةُ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلى الله عليه وآله) يُبَشِّرُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى بِهَا الْمُؤْمِنَ أَيْنَمَا كَانَ وَ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ.

Translation

195. Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Ashary, from Moalla Bin Muhammad, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Washa, from Muhammad Bin Al-Fazeyl, from Abu Hamza who said: ‘I heard Abu Ja’far (asws) saying: ‘For every Believer is a Protector and an Informer (Sa’ib)’. I said, ‘And what is the Protector, and what is the Informer, O Abu Ja’far (asws)?’ He (asws) said: ‘The Protector from Allah (azwj) Blessed and High, Protecting from Al-Wilayah by which the Believer is protected wherever he may be. And as for the Informer, so it is the good news of Muhammad (saww) which Allah (azwj) Blessed and High Gives to the Believer wherever he may be whatever situation he may be in’.

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