1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla’ ibn Muhammad from Sulayman ibn Sufyan from Ishaq ibn ‘Ammar who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that a time will come when people who ask for help will survive, and those who do not ask for help will die. I then asked, ‘What shall I do if I find myself in such a time?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘Help people by means of what you have and strive hard if you do not have anything.’”
