5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ الْمُحَارِبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ أَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً وَهُوَ مُعْسِرٌ يَسَّرَ الله لَهُ حَوَائِجَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ قَالَ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ عَلَى مُؤْمِنٍ عَوْرَةً يَخَافُهَا سَتَرَ الله عَلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ عَوْرَةً مِنْ عَوْرَاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ قَالَ وَالله فِي عَوْنِ الْمُؤْمِنِ مَا كَانَ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ فَانْتَفِعُوا بِالْعِظَةِ وَارْغَبُوا فِي الْخَيْرِ.

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Hassan ibn Mahbub from Jamil ibn Salih from Dharih al-Muharibi who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام saying, ‘Any believer who relieves a believer from his hardships in a constraining condition Allah will make his (helper’s) needs easily met in this world and in the next.’ The Imam said, ‘Whoever provides cover for the private matters of a believer for which he is afraid, Allah will provide cover for his (helper’s) seventy private matters of this world and in the next life.’ The Imam said, ‘Allah supports a believer as long as he supports his believing brother (in belief). You must benefit from the good advice and be interested in good deeds.’”
