Arabic text

فضالة عن داود بن فرقد قال: سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام: يقول: في كتاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله إذا: استعملتم ما ملكت ايمانكم في شئ يشق عليهم فاعملوا معهم فيه قال: وإن كان أبى يأمرهم فيقول: كما أنتم فيأتي فينظر فإن كان ثقيلا قال: بسم الله ثم عمل معهم وإن كان خفيفا تنحى عنهم.

Translation

2.Faḍālah narrated from Dāwūd ibn Farqad who said, “I heard Abā ʿAbdillāh (a) say, ‘[It is written] in the book of the Messenger of Allah (ṣ)[1]: When you employ what your right hand possesses[2] for something that is difficult for them, then work with them [and assist them] in it.’ He [also] said, ‘Verily my father would instruct them saying, “Stay as you are [and wait for me],” then he would come and see [the work]. If it was heavy [and difficult], he would say bismillāh and then he would [join them and] work with them, but if it was light, he would leave them [to do it themselves].’”
