2ـ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لَمَّا أَمَرَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ هَذِهِ الآيَاتِ أَنْ يَهْبِطْنَ إِلَى الأرْضِ تَعَلَّقْنَ بِالْعَرْشِ وَقُلْنَ أَيْ رَبِّ إِلَى أَيْنَ تُهْبِطُنَا إِلَى أَهْلِ الْخَطَايَا وَالذُّنُوبِ فَأَوْحَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ أَنِ اهْبِطْنَ فَوَ عِزَّتِي وَجَلالِي لا يَتْلُوكُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَشِيعَتِهِمْ فِي دُبُرِ مَا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ إِلا نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِعَيْنِيَ الْمَكْنُونَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ نَظْرَةً أَقْضِي لَهُ فِي كُلِّ نَظْرَةٍ سَبْعِينَ حَاجَةً وَقَبِلْتُهُ عَلَى مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي وَهِيَ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَشَهِدَ الله أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلا هُوَ وَالْمَلائِكَةُ وَأُولُوا الْعِلْمِ وَآيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَآيَةُ الْمُلْكِ.

2. Hamid ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Husayn ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Maythami from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: “When Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, commanded certain verses of the Holy Quran to descend to earth, they clung to the Throne asking, ‘O Lord, why are You sending us to people of sins and evil deeds.’ Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, inspired them to descend saying, ‘I swear by My Majesty and Glory that any Shi’a (followers) of Ahl al-Bciyt (family of Muhammad, recipients of divine supreme covenant), who reads you after an obligatory prayer every day I will look at him with My hidden eyes (special favor) everyday seventy times and in every look fulfill his seventy wishes and accept him with whatever sins he may have. The verses are Chapter One of the Holy Quran, verses 18-19 and 26-27 of Chapter 3 and verse 255 of Chapter 2 of the Holy Quran.’”
