Arabic text

87 - عن جابر عن أبي جعفر (ع)، قال: تنفست بين يديه، ثم قلت: يا بن رسول الله، همٌّ يصيبني من غير مصيبة تصيبني أو أمر ينـزل بي حتى تعرف ذلك أهلي في وجهي ويعرفه صديقي. فقال: نعم يا جابر. قلت: ما ذلك يا بن رسول الله؟ قال: وما تصنع به؟ قلت: احب أن أعلمه. فقال يا جابرُ، إنّ الله (جلّ جلاله) خلقَ المؤمنين من طينِ الجنانِ وأجرى بهم مِن ريح الجنّة روحَه، فكذلك المؤمنُ أخو المؤمن لأبيه وأمّه، فإذا أصاب روحاً من تلك الأرواح في بلدة من البلدان شئٌ حزنت هذه الأرواح لأنَّها منها.

Translation

87. Jabir reported: I sighed in the presence of Abu Ja'far (a.s) and said, 'Son of Allah's Messenger, sometimes I feel afflicted for no apparent reason or I am overcome with a condition of grief such that my family and friends see it on my face.' 'Indeed, Jabir,' he replied. 'Why is that, O son of Allah's Messenger? I asked. 'What will you do knowing it?' he asked. 'I would love to know,' I replied. 'O Jabir,' he then said, 'Allah [M.G] created the believers from the earth of Paradise and brought about their souls from the breeze of Paradise. Believers are thus full brothers; so, when one soul amongst this group of souls is afflicted in any place, the rest are depressed, for they are one.’
