حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه، قال: حدثنا عمي محمد بن أبي القاسم، عن أحمد بن أبي عبد الله البرقي، عن أبيه، عن محمد بن سنان، عن المفضّل بن عمر، عن يونس بن ظبيان، قال: قلت للصادق جعفر بن محمد (عليه السلام): يا ابن رسول الله ما الذي يباعد عنا إبليس؟ قال: الصوم يسود وجهه، والصدقة تكسر ظهره، والحب في الله والمؤازرة على العمل الصالح يقطعان دابره، والاستغفار يقطع وتينه.
Muḥammad b. ʿAlī Majīlawayh narrated to us, saying that his paternal uncle, Muḥammad b. Abī’l-Qāsim, narrated to him among others, from Aḥmad b. Abī ʿAbd Allāh al-Barqī, from his father, from Muḥammad b. Sinān, from al-Mufaḍḍal b. ʿUmar, from Yūnus b. Ẓibyān, who said: “I said to Jaʿfar b. Muḥammad al-Ṣādiq (as): “O’ son of the Messenger of Allāh, what is that which will drive Iblīs away from us?” So he replied: “Fasting blackens his face, charity breaks his back, love for Allāh and supporting one another in righteous deeds cuts off his roots, and seeking forgiveness (from Allāh) severs his lifeline.”
