Arabic text

بعض أصحابنا عن حنان بن سدير عن رجل يقال له: روزبه - وكان من الزيدية (عن أبي حمزة الثمالي قال: قال لي أبو جعفر عليه السلام: ما من عبد يعمل عملا لا يرضاه الله الا ستره الله عليه أولا فإذا ثنى ستره الله عليه فإذا ثلث اهبط الله ملكا في صورة آدمي يقول للناس: فعل كذا وكذا.

Translation

14.One of our companions narrated from Ḥanān ibn Sadīr, from a man who was known as Rūzbih and was one of the Zaydīs, from Abū Ḥamzah al-Thumālī who said, “Abū Jaʿfar (a) said to me, ‘There is no servant who performs an action that Allah is not pleased with but that Allah initially conceals it [from the people]. If he repeats it a second time, Allah hides it [again], but if he repeats it once more, Allah sends down an angel in the form of a man to tell the people, ‘He did such and such.’”
