Arabic text

بعض أصحابنا عن القاسم بن محمد عن إسحاق بن إبراهيم قال: قال أبو عبد الله عليه السلام: ان الله خلق خلقا من عباده فانتجبهم لفقراء شيعتنا ليثيبهم بذلك قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: كفاك بثنائك على أخيك إذا أسدي إليك معروفا ان تقول له: جزاك الله خيرا وإذا ذكر وليس هو في المجلس ان تقول: جزاء الله خيرا فإذا أنت كافيته.

Translation

9.One of our companions narrated from al-Qāsim ibn Muḥammad, from Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm who said, “Abū ʿAbdillāh (a) said, ‘Verily Allah has created among His creatures some servants whom He has chosenfor [assisting] the poor among our followers, so that He may reward them for that. The Messenger of Allah (ṣ) said, “It suffices for your praise of your brother when he does you a good turn that you say to him: may Allah reward you with goodness; and when he is mentioned in his absence that you say: may Allah reward him with goodness. Then you will have [adequately] reciprocated [his kindness].”’”
