3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar from al-Wassafiy from abu Ja‘far (a.s.), who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, spoke to Moses about certain matters. Of such matters, one was this: ‘O Musa (Moses), treat one asking for help graciously, with a little charity or send him away with kind words; one who is not of man or Jinn may come to you who, in fact, is an angel of the angels of the Beneficent. He may come to examine and test you about the favors that I have granted you. They ask you of the favors I have granted to you. Consider, O son of ’Imran, how you behave.’”
Translation: Muhammad Sarwar — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.
