13ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَقَرَأَ هَذِهِ الآيَةَ وَالَّذِينَ يُؤْذُونَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ بِغَيْرِ مَا اكْتَسَبُوا فَقَدِ احْتَمَلُوا بُهْتاناً وَإِثْماً مُبِيناً قَالَ فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَمَا ثَوَابُ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِ السُّرُورَ فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ عَشْرُ حَسَنَاتٍ فَقَالَ إِي وَالله وَأَلْفُ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

13. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Sa’dan ibn Muslim from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Once a man, in the presence of Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام recited this verse of the Holy Quran: ‘Those who annoy the believing men and women without reason will bear the sin for a false accusation, a manifest offense.’ (33:58) The narrator has said that Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام then asked, ‘What then is the reward for sending joy to his heart?’ I said, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, ten good deeds.’ The Imam said, ‘Yes, by Allah, it is one million good deeds.’”
