حَدَّثَنِی مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِیِّ بْنِ مَاجِیلَوَیْهِ عَنْ عَمِّهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِی الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِیٍّ الْکُوفِیِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِیِّ بْنِ یُوسُفَ عَنْ مُقَاتِلٍ عَنِ الرَّبِیعِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ السُّلَمِیِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ یَزِیدَ الْجُعْفِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ یَغْدُو فِی طَلَبِ الْعِلْمِ أَوْ یَرُوحُ إِلَّا خَاضَ الرَّحْمَهَ وَ هَتَفَتْ بِهِ الْمَلَائِکَهُ مَرْحَباً بِزَائِرِ اللَّهِ وَ سَلَکَ مِنَ الْجَنَّهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِکَ الْمَسْلَکِ.

2. It was narrated to me by Muhammad b. Ali b. Majluwayh from his uncle Muhammad b. Abi al-Qasim from Muhammad b. Ali al-Kufi from al-Hassan b. Ali b. Yusif from Muqatil from al-Rabee’ b. Muhammad al-Sulami from Jabir b. Yazid al-Ju’fi from Abi Ja’far who said: “No day or night of a scholar ends until he enters the Mercy of Allah. The angels call out, ‘Congratulations, O visitor of Allah! The way, which you are seeking, is the way to Paradise’.”
