The Sufficient (Vol 4) · Hadith 75 (#Ḥadīth #1)

1ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) ضَمِنْتُ عَلَى رَبِّي أَنَّهُ لا يَسْأَلُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَاجَةٍ إِلاَّ اضْطَرَّتْهُ الْمَسْأَلَةُ يَوْماً إِلَى أَنْ يَسْأَلَ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah , has said that Ali ibn al-Husayn , has said, ’I guarantee from my Lord that whoever asks for help without actually being in need, a pressing need will force him one day (sooner or later) to ask help for an actual need.’”
