ENGLISH TRANSLATION

8. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’ alia ibn Muhammad from abu Dawud al-Mustariqq from Muhsin al-Maythami from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام saying, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, does not transfer a believer from the humiliation of sins to the honor of piety before granting him freedom from wants without property, strength without tribesmen and comforting companionship without people.’”
