2 - حدثنا الحسين بن إبراهيم بن ناتانه (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا علي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه إبراهيم بن هاشم، قال: رأيت عبد الله بن جندب بالموقف، فلم أر موقفا أحسن من موقفه، ما زال مادا يديه إلى السماء ودموعه تسيل على خديه حتى تبلغ الارض، فلما صدر الناس قلت له: يا أبا محمد، ما رأيت موقفا أحسن من موقفك. قال: والله ما دعوت إلا لاخواني، وذلك أن أبا الحسن موسى بن جعفر (عليهما السلام) أخبرني أنه من دعا لاخيه بظهر الغيب نودي من العرش: ولك مائة ألف ضعف، فكرهت أن أدع مائة ألف ضعف مضمونة لواحدة لا أدري تستجاب أم لا (1).
Al-Husayn b. Ibrahim b. Natana narrated to us. He said: `Ali b. Ibrahim narrated to us from his father Ibrahim b. Hashim. He said: I saw `Abdullah b. Jundab in a position, and I had not seen a position more beautiful than his position. He did not stop stretching forth his hands to the sky [in supplication] while tears ran down his cheeks and reached the ground. When the people came, I said to him: O Aba Muhammad! I have never seen a position more beautiful than your position. He said: By Allah, I only supplicated for my brothers, and that is because Aba’l Hasan Musa b. Ja`far informed me that when one prays for his brother when he is away, a call is made from the Throne: “Multiplied by one hundred thousand for you” – I would hate to drop a guaranteed [supplication] that equalled one hundred thousand [acceptances] than one [supplication] that I do not know whether it will be accepted or not.
