156 - وعن أبي جعفر وأبي عبد الله عليهما السلام، قالا: إذا كان يوم القيامة أوتي العبد المؤمن إلى الله عز وجل، فيحاسبه حسابا يسيرا، ثم يعاتبه، فيقول له: يا مؤمن ما منعك أن تعودني حيث مرضت؟ فيقول المؤمن: أنت ربي وأنا عبدك، أنت الحي الذي لا يصيبك ألم ولا نصب، فيقول الرب عز وجل: من عاد مؤمنا فقد عادني، ثم يقول الله عز وجل، هل تعرف فلان بن فلان؟ فيقول: نعم، فيقول له: ما منعك أن تعوده حيث مرض؟ أما لو عدته لعدتني، ثم لوجدتني عند سؤالك ، ثم لو سألتني حاجة لقضيتها لك، ثم لم أردك عنها.
156. It has been narrated that Abu Ja'far and Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) both said: On the Day of Resurrection, when a believing servant comes before Allah, He will account him with an easy accounting but then reproach him saying, 'O believer, what stopped you from visiting Me when I was sick?' The believer shall reply, 'You are my Lord and I am Your servant; and You are ever-living and never afflicted with suffering or illness!' 'One who visits a believer in sickness has in fact visited Me,' shall say the Lord [M.G], 'Do you not know so-and-so?' 'Yes,' the believer shall reply, 'I know him.' Allah [M.G] shall then say, 'What stopped you from visiting him when he was sick? Had you visited him, you would have visited Me. Then you would have found Me ever-present at the time of your need. If you then would have asked me for any need, I would have fulfilled it for you and not turned you away from it.'
