14ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ الْعَلاءِ عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ السُّرُورَ عَلَى مُؤْمِنٍ فَقَدْ أَدْخَلَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) وَمَنْ أَدْخَلَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) فَقَدْ وَصَلَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الله وَكَذَلِكَ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيْهِ كَرْباً.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

14. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah from Ali ibn Yahya from al-Walid ibn al-‘Ala’ from ibn Sinan from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Whoever sends joy to the heart of a believer he certainly has sent joy to the heart of the Messenger of Allah. If one sends joy to the heart of the Messenger of Allah such joy reaches Allah. The same is true of causing pain to the heart of a believer.”
