Chapter 45 | The Forty-Fifth Assembly, the Assembly of Friday, Two Nights Remaining from Safar, 368 AH.

12 - حدثنا أبي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، عن صفوان بن يحيى، عن العيص بن القاسم، عن أبي عبد الله الصادق (عليه السلام)، قال: من نظر إلى ذي عاهة، أو من قد مثل به، أو صاحب بلاء، فليقل سرا في نفسه من غير أن يسمعه. الحمد لله الذي عافاني مما ابتلاك به، ولو شاء لفعل بي ذلك، ثلاث مرات، فإنه لا يصيبه ذلك البلاء ابدا (1).

My father narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from his father from Safwan b. Yahya from al-`Is b. al-Qasim from Abi `Abdillah al-Sadiq . He said: Whoever sees one with a disability, or one similar to that, or a suffering person, then he should say privately to himself in a way that the person would not hear: “Praise be to Allah who granted me wellness from what he is suffering from. If He willed, He would have afflicted me with this (alhamdulillahil lathi `afani mimma abtalak bih, wa law sha’a lafa`al bi thalik)” three times, then he will never be afflicted with that.
