Arabic text

56- عن مالك الجهن قال: دخلت عل أب جعفر (ع)، وقد حدثت نفس بأشياء، فقال لي يا مالك! أحسن الظن باله ولا تظن أنك مفرطٌ ف أمرك. يا مالك! إنّه لا تقدر عل صفة رسول اله (ص) وكذلك لا تقدر عل صفتنا وكذلك لا تقدر عل صفة المؤمن. يا مالك! إنّ المؤمن يلق أخاه فيصافحه، فلا يزال اله (جل جلاله) ينظر إلَيهما، والذنوب تتحات عن وجوههما حت يفترقا وليس عليهما من الذنوب ش ،فيف تقدر عل صفة من هو هذا؟

Translation

56. It has been related that Malik al-Juhni said: I visited Abu Ja'far (a.s) with some thoughts in my mind. He preempted me saying: O Malik! Have a good opinion of Allah and do not imagine that you are excessive in your affair (of following the Ahl al-Bayt). O Malik, it is beyond your capacity to describe the Messenger of Allah (a.s) and similarly you cannot describe us and similarly you cannot describe a believer. O Malik, when a believer meets his brother (in faith) and shakes his hand, Allah does not stop gazing at them; and sins continue to fall off them until they part without any sins on them. How then can you possibly describe one who is (of) such (greatness before Allah)?
