قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَا إِسْحَاقُ كَمْ تَرَى أَهْلَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ- فَإِنْ أُعْطُوا مِنْها رَضُوا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَوْا مِنْها إِذا هُمْ يَسْخَطُونَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ هُمْ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ثُلُثَيِ النَّاسِ.

4. Ali has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abd al- Hamid from Ishaq ibn Ghalib who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) once asked, ‘O Ishaq, how many people can you find to whom this verse, ‘ . . . They are pleased when you give them something from it, but if they receive nothing, they become angry with you,’ (9:58) applies? The Imam then said, ‘They are more than two thirds of the people.’”
