Arabic text

حدثنا علي بن أحمد بن عبد الله - رحمه الله - قال: حدثنا أبي، عن جده أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، عن محمد بن عيسى بن عبيد، عن أبي محمد الأنصاري، عن غير واحد، عن أبي جعفر الباقر عليهما السلام، قال: من أصبح يجد برد حبنا على قلبه فليحمد الله على بادئ النعم قيل: وما بادئ النعم؟ قال: طيب المولد.

Translation

2. We were told by Ali bin Ahmad bin Abdullah, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by my father, from his grandfather, Ahmad bin Abi Abdillah, from Muhammed bin Isa, from ‘Ubaid, from Abu Muhammed al-Ansari, from more than one, from Abu Ja’far al-Baqir, peace be upon them both [1], that he said: The one who wakes up at the morning, finding the coolness of our love upon his heart, let him praise Allah for the initiator of graces. It was said: And what is the initiator of graces? He said: Having a good birth.
