Arabic text

حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه (ره)، قال: حدثني عمي محمد بن أبي القاسم، قال: حدثنا محمد بن علي الكوفي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن سنان، عن المفضّل بن عمر، عن يونس بن ظبيان، قال: قلت للصادق (عليه السلام): ما الذي يباعد عنا إبليس؟ قال: الصوم يسود وجهه والصدقة تكسر ظهره والحب في الله والمؤازرة على العمل الصالح يقطعان دابره والاستغفار يقطع وتينه.

Translation

Muḥammad b. ʿAlī Mājilawayh—may Allāh have mercy on him—narrated to us, saying that his paternal uncle Muḥammad b. Abī’l-Qāsim narrated to him, saying that Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Kūfī narrated to him among others, saying that Muḥammad b. Sinān narrated to him among others, from al-Mufaḍḍal b. ʿUmar, from Yūnus b. Ẓibyān, who narrates: “I said to al-Ṣādiq (as): “What is it that distances Iblīs from us?” So he replied: “Fasting blackens his face, charity breaks his back, love for Allāh and mutual support in righteous deeds sever his lineage, and seeking forgiveness cuts his lifeline.”
