Arabic text

89 - وعن أبي عبد الله (ع) قال الأرواحُ جنودٌ مجنّدة تلتقي فتتشامّ كما تتشام الخيلُ، فما تعارف منها ائتلفَ وما تناكرَ منها اختلفَ. ولو أن مؤمناً جاءَ إلى مسجدٍ فيه أناسٌ كثير ليس فيهم إلاّ مؤمنٌ واحد لمالت روحُه إلى ذلك المؤمنِ حتى يجلسَ إليه.

Translation

89. It has been reported that Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) said: Souls are grouped in batches; they look out for each other like horses. They feel familiar with those whom they know well and disagree with those whom they disapprove of. If a believer entered a mosque filled with people amongst whom there was but one another believer, his soul would incline towards that believer until he would go and sit beside him.

Translation: Muhajir b. Ali — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
