Arabic text

فضالة بن أيوب عن سيف بن عميرة عن ابن مسكان عن إبراهيم بن شعيب قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: ان أبى قد كبر جدا وضعف فنحن نحمله إذا أراد الحاجة فقال: ان استطعت ان تلى ذلك منه فافعل ولقمه بيدك فإنه جنة لك غدا.

Translation

6.Faḍālah ibn Ayyūb narrated from Sayf ibn ʿAmīrah, from Ibn Muskān, from Ibrāhīm ibn Shuʿayb who said, “I said to Abū ʿAbdillāh (a), ‘Verily my father has become very old and weak, so we carry him [to the lavatory] when he needs to relieve himself.’ He said, ‘If you can continue doing that [yourself] then do so, and feed him morsels with your own hand, for that will be a shield for you tomorrow [from the Fire].’”
