1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from al-Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has said, ‘The believers are but brothers, sons of one father and mother (in the original creation). If one of them may have an distressed vein, others will remain awake all night because of his pain.’”
[2]« بنو أب و أم» اريد بالاب روح اللّه الذي نفخ منه في طينة المؤمن و بالام الماء العذب و التربة الطيبة كما مرّ في أبواب الطينة لا آدم و حواء كما يتبادر إلى بعض الاذهان لعدم اختصاص الانتساب اليهما بالايمان الا أن يقال: تباين العقائد صار مانعا عن تاثير تلك الاخوة لكنه بعيد و يمكن أن يكون المراد اتّحاد آبائهم الحقيقية الذين احيوهم بالايمان و العلم.ص 165

72. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzaal, from Ali Bin Uqba, form Umar Bin Abaan, from Abdul Hameed Al-Wabishy, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) said, when I said from him (asws), ‘We have a neighbour who violates all the Prohibitions to the extent that he leaves the Prayer as well among other matters’. He (asws) said: ‘Glory be to Allah (azwj)! And that is a great matter. However, shall I (asws) inform you of the one who is more evil than him?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He (asws) said: ‘The one who is hostile to us (asws) (Nasibi) is more evil than him. But rather, there is none from the servant in whose presence the People (asws) of the Household are mentioned and he sympathises with our (asws) remembrance, except that the Angels wipe his back, and all of his sins are Forgiven unless he commits a sin which takes him out of the ‘Eman’ (faith), and his intercession is Accepted whilst it is not acceptable for the Nasibi (hostile one). And that the Believer will intercede for his neighbour even if there is no good deed to his credit. He will say, ‘O Lord (azwj)! My neighbour used to restrain himself from hurting me’, so he will intercede for him’. So Allah (azwj) Blessed and High will say: “I (azwj) am your Lord (azwj) and more Right to Suffice for you. So He (azwj) will Enter him in the Paradise although there will be no good deeds to his credit. And that the lowest of the ‘Momineen’ (Believers) would intercede for thirty people. When that happens, the inhabitants of the Fire will say, “[26:100] So we have no intercessors, [26:101] Nor a true friend”.

2. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from ‘Amr ibn Aban from Jabir al-Juhfi who has said the following: “Once I became depressed in the presence of abu Ja’far (a.s.) and asked him, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, why is it that sometimes I feel depressed without any apparent cause or incident? Even my family and friends notice it on my face.’ The Imam said, ‘Yes O Jabir, Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has created the clay of the believers from the clay of paradise and has made the fragrance of His spirit flow through it; thus, a believer is a brother (in belief) of a believer from his father and mother. When a spirit of those spirits is distressed anywhere with a sadness the other spirits also feel sad; this is from that (clay of paradise).”’
[1]لا يقال: على هذا يلزم أن يكون المؤمن محزونا دائما لانا نقول: يحتمل أن يكون للتأثير شرائط اخرى تفقد في بعض الاحيان كان يكون ارتباط هذا الروح ببعض الأرواح أكثر من بعض.ص 166
