4-16 حدثنا أبوأحمد الحسن بن عبد الله العسكري قال: حدثنا أبوالقاسم بدر بن الهيثم القاضي قال: حدثنا علي بن منذر الكوفي قال: حدثنا محمد بن الفضيل عن أبي الصباح قال: قال جعفر بن محمد عليهما السلام: من اعطي أربعا لم يحرم أربعا من اعطي الدعاء لم يحرم الاجابة، ومن اعطي الاستغفار لم يحرم المغفرة، ومن اعطي الشكر لم يحرم الزيادة، ومن اعطي الصبر لم يحرم الاجر

4-16 Abu Ahmad al-Hassan ibn Abdullah al-Askari narrated that Abul Qasim Badr ibn al-Haysam al-Qazi quoted Ali ibn Monzar al-Kufy, on the authority of Muhammad ibn al-Fuzayl, on the authority of Abil Sabah that Ja’far ibn Muhammad as-Sadiq (MGB) said, “Whoever is granted four things would not get disappointed with four other things. Whoever is granted the opportunity to supplicate would not be disappointed with its being answered. Whoever is granted the opportunity to ask for God’s forgiveness would not be disappointed with being forgiven. Whoever is granted the opportunity to be grateful would not be disappointed with an increase in his blessings. Whoever is granted the opportunity to persevere would not be disappointed with its reward.”
