[26] مَجَالِسُ الشَّيْخِ، عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِنَا وَ كَانَ مَرِيضاً فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَنْسَاكَ اللَّهُ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ لَا أَنْسَاكَ الشُّكْرَ عَلَيْهَا (The book) ‘Majaalis’ of the sheykh – from a group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, ‘From Husayn Bin Zayd son of Ali -asws , said, ‘I, along with Abu Abdullah Ja’far ‑asws Bin Muhammad ‑asws entered to see a man from our family, and he was sick.

Abu Abdullah -asws said to him: ‘May Allah -azwj Make you forget the well-being and not Make you forget the thanking upon it!’ فَلَمَّا خَرَجْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِ الرَّجُلِ قُلْتُ لَهُ يَا سَيِّدِي مَا هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ الَّذِي دَعَوْتَ بِهِ لِلرَّجُلِ When we went out from the presence of the man, I said to him -asws , ‘O my Master -asws !

What is this supplication which you -asws supplicated with for the man?’ فَقَالَ يَا حُسَيْنُ الْعَافِيَةُ مُلْكٌ خَفِيٌّ يَا حُسَيْنُ إِنَّ الْعَافِيَةَ نِعْمَةٌ إِذَا فُقِدَتْ ذُكِرَتْ وَ إِذَا وُجِدَتْ نُسِيَتْ He -asws said: ‘O Husayn! The well-being is a hidden king. O Husayn! The well-being is a bounty. When it is lost, it is remembered, and when it is found, it is forgotten’.

فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْسَاكَ اللَّهُ الْعَافِيَةَ بِحُصُولِهَا وَ لَا أَنْسَاكَ الشُّكْرَ عَلَيْهَا لِتَنْدَمَ لَهُ I -asws said to him: ‘May Allah -azwj Make you forget the well-being of its achievement, and not Make you forget the thanking upon it, for you will regret for it’. يَا حُسَيْنُ إِنَّ أَبِي خَبَّرَنِي عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا صَاحِبَ الْعَافِيَةِ إِلَيْكَ انْتَهَتِ الْأَمَانِيُ‏. O Husayn!
