Arabic text

حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَی بْنِ الْمُتَوَکِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِی عَلِیُّ بْنُ الْحُسَیْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِیُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَلِیِّ بْنِ الْحَکَمِ عَنْ سَیْفِ بْنِ عَمِیرَهَ عَنْ زَیْدٍ الشَّحَّامِ عَنْ أَبِی عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عليه السلام قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ کَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ شَغَلَ اللَّهُ کُتَّابَ السَّمَاءِ قِیلَ وَ کَیْفَ یَشْغَلُ کُتَّابَ السَّمَاءِ قَالَ یَقُولُونَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا لَا نَعْلَمُ الْغَیْبَ فَقَالَ فَیَقُولُ اکْتُبُوهَا کَمَا قَالَهَا عَبْدِی وَ عَلَیَّ ثَوَابُهَا.

Translation

1. Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil narrated to me that Ali b. al-Husayn al-Sa'dabadi narrated to him, from Ahmad b. Abi Abdullah, from Ali b. al-Hakam, from Saif b. Amirah, from Zaid al-Shahham that Abu 'Abdillah (al-Sadiq) (as) said: "Whoever says 'Praise be to Allah as He deserves', Allah will keep the scribes of heaven busy." It was asked, "How do the scribes of the heavens remain busy?". He said, "They say, 'O Allah! We do not know the unseen.' So Allah says, 'Write it as my servant said it, and for him is its reward.'"
