3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from certain individuals of our people who has said the following: “Once I (Tsa) said to Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) ‘My brothers and cousins have made life very difficult for me. They have forced me out of the house to another house. If I talk to them I am capable to take away what is in their hands.’ The Imam said, ‘Be patient. Allah will make a way out for you.’ I (the narrator) changed my mind. In the year one hundred thirty-one a plague came and they all died. No one of them was left alive. I (the narrator) then went to see the Imam (a.s.) and he asked me, ‘How is the condition of your family?’ I said, ‘By Allah, all of them have died and not one is left alive.’ The Imam said, ‘It was because of their failing to maintain good relations with you, suspending you from their favors, withholding kindness from relatives and boycotting them. Do you love and wish that they remained alive even though they caused you difficulties?’ I said, ‘Yes, by Allah (I do wish so).”’
