8ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ مُحَسِّنٍ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ مَا نَقَلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَبْداً مِنْ ذُلِّ الْمَعَاصِي إِلَى عِزِّ التَّقْوَى إِلا أَغْنَاهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَالٍ وَأَعَزَّهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ عَشِيرَةٍ وَآنَسَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ بَشَرٍ.

8. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’ alia ibn Muhammad from abu Dawud al-Mustariqq from Muhsin al-Maythami from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah saying, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, does not transfer a believer from the humiliation of sins to the honor of piety before granting him freedom from wants without property, strength without tribesmen and comforting companionship without people.’”
