10ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أُورَمَةَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) تَنَافَسُوا فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ لِإِخْوَانِكُمْ وَكُونُوا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ فَإِنَّ لِلْجَنَّةِ بَاباً يُقَالُ لَهُ الْمَعْرُوفُ لا يَدْخُلُهُ إِلا مَنِ اصْطَنَعَ الْمَعْرُوفَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَمْشِي فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنِ فَيُوَكِّلُ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهِ مَلَكَيْنِ وَاحِداً عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَآخَرَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ يَسْتَغْفِرَانِ لَهُ رَبَّهُ وَيَدْعُوَانِ بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَالله لَرَسُولُ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) أَسَرُّ بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَةِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِذَا وَصَلَتْ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْحَاجَةِ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
10. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah from al-Hassan ibn Ali ibn abu Hamza from his father from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘Compete in al-Ma’ruf doing good to your brothers (in belief) and be of such people; in paradise there is a door called al-Ma’ruf through which no one can enter except those who have performed al-Ma’ruf (a virtuous deed) in the worldly life. If a servant (of Allah) walks to help his believing brother (in belief), Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, appoints two angels one from the right and one from the left to ask forgiveness for him from his Lord and pray for his wish to come true.’ The Imam then said, ‘By Allah, the Messenger of Allah becomes happier for the coming true of the wish of the needy believer than the needy believer himself.’”
