أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا (عليهما السلام) فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِّ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ نَزَلَتْ فِي حَمْزَةَ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ الْعَبَّاسِ وَ شَيْبَةَ إِنَّهُمْ فَخَرُوا بِالسِّقَايَةِ وَ الْحِجَابَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ أَ جَعَلْتُمْ سِقايَةَ الْحاجِّ وَ عِمارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ وَ حَمْزَةُ وَ جَعْفَرٌ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَ جَاهَدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَوُونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ.

Translation

245. Abu Ali Al-Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwaan Bin yahya, from Ibn Muskan, from Abu Baseer, who has said: One of them (asws) regarding the Statement of Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic: “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”. He (asws) said: ‘This was Revealed regarding Hamza (as), and Ali (asws), and Ja’far (as), and Al-Abbas (as), and Shaeba. They prided themselves for quenching (the thirst) of the Pilgrims. So Allah (azwj) Majestic and Mighty Revealed “[9:19] What! do you make (one who undertakes) the giving of drink to the pilgrims and the guarding of the Sacred Mosque like him who believes in Allah and the latter day”, and it was Ali (asws), and Hamza (as), and Ja’far (as), may greeting be upon them (as) are the ones who (as) believed in Allah (azwj) and the Last Day, and they (as) fought in the Way of Allah (azwj), and (others) are not equal to them (as) in the Presence of Allah (azwj)’.
