11. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad all from ibn Mahbub from abu Ayyub from Muhammad ibn Qays from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has a paradise wherein no one can go except three: (a) a man who issues judgment against himself with truth, (b) a man who visits his brother, due to Allah’s relation, and (c) a man who gives preference to his believing brother (in belief), due to Allah’s relation.’”

12. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma’il ibn Bazi’ from Salih ibn ‘Aqabah from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad al-Juhfi from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “When the believer leaves home to visit his brother (in belief), Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, appoints an angel to place one wing on earth and one wing in the sky to provide him shadow. When he arrives at his house, the Almighty Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, will say, ‘O servant (of Allah) who has observed My right with greatness, and followed the tradition of My prophet, it is a right with Me to grant you dignity. Ask Me and I will give you, pray to Me I will answer and if you remain silent I will initiate.’ When he returns, the angel will escort him with his wings providing shadow for him until he arrives at his home. Then Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, will say, ‘O servant (of Allah) who has observed My right with greatness, it is a right with Me to give you honor and I have made it necessary that you be admitted into My paradise. I have granted you permission to intercede for My servants.’”

13. Salih ibn ‘Aqabah has narrated from ‘Aqabah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Visiting the believing brother (in belief) is certainly better than setting free ten believing slaves. Whoever sets free a believing slave for each part of the body of the slave, one part of his body will be protected against fire, and even the private part will be protected.”

14. Salih ibn ‘Aqabah has narrated from Safwan al-Jammal from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whichever three believing brothers (in belief) come together to a brother (in belief) of theirs from whose evils they feel safe, who are not afraid of his rebellion, and who have good hopes in him, if they pray to Allah their prayers will be answered, if they ask, their wish will be granted, if they ask for more it will be increased and if they remain silent. He will initiate.”

15. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from abu Ayyub who has said the following: “I heard abu Hamza saying, T heard the good servant (of Allah) saying, “Whoever visits his believing brother (in belief) for the sake of Allah and for no other reason, seeking thereby the reward from Allah, the promise of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will come true and Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, will appoint seventy thousand angels, from the time he leaves his home to the time he returns home, applaud behind him, ‘How beautiful is your deed! How beautiful is paradise for you! You have found a dwelling in paradise.’”
