The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 467 (#Ḥadīth #1)

1ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ وَعِزَّتِي وَجَلالِي وَعَظَمَتِي وَعُلُوِّي وَارْتِفَاعِ مَكَانِي لا يُؤْثِرُ عَبْدٌ هَوَايَ عَلَى هَوَى نَفْسِهِ إِلا كَفَفْتُ عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتَهُ وَضَمَّنْتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضَ رِزْقَهُ وَكُنْتُ لَهُ مِنْ وَرَاءِ تِجَارَةِ كُلِّ تَاجِرٍ.

1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from ‘Asim ibn Humayd from abu ‘Ubaydah from abu Ja’far who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, says, ‘I swear by My Majesty, Glory, Greatness, Height and the height of My position, if anyone of My servant acts as I wish instead of acting according to his own wish, I will protect his lost and straying property and guarantee to provide him sustenance from the heavens and earth, and I will be for him (his supporter) in his business with every merchant.’”
