1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ زَارَ أَخَاهُ لله لا لِغَيْرِهِ الْتِمَاسَ مَوْعِدِ الله وَتَنَجُّزَ مَا عِنْدَ الله وَكَّلَ الله بِهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يُنَادُونَهُ أَلا طِبْتَ وَطَابَتْ لَكَ الْجَنَّةُ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn Faddal from Ali ibn ‘Aqaba from abu Hamza from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: “Whoever visits his brother (in belief) for the sake of Allah and for no other reason, seeking thereby the promise of Allah, and to achieve what is with Allah, Allah will appoint seventy thousand angels who applaud, ‘How beautiful is what you have done and how beautiful is paradise (for you).”’
