14ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ ٠َةَ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ ٠ُعَلَّى بْنِ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلا٠ِنِ فَقَالَ سَبْعُونَ حَقّاً لا أُخْبِرُكَ إِلا بِسَبْعَةٍ فَإِنِّي عَلَيْكَ ٠ُشْفِقٌ أَخْشَى أَلا تَحْتَ٠ِلَ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى إِنْ شَاءَ الله فَقَالَ لا تَشْبَعُ وَيَجُوعُ وَلا تَكْتَسِي وَيَعْرَى وَتَكُونُ دَلِيلَهُ وَقَ٠ِيصَهُ الَّذِي يَلْبَسُهُ وَلِسَانَهُ الَّذِي يَتَكَلَّ٠ُ بِهِ وَتُحِبُّ لَهُ ٠َا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ لَكَ جَارِيَةٌ بَعَثْتَهَا لِتُ٠َهِّدَ فِرَاشَهُ وَتَسْعَى فِي حَوَائِجِهِ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ فَإِذَا فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ وَصَلْتَ وَلايَتَكَ بِوَلايَتِنَا وَوَلايَتَنَا بِوَلايَةِ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ. 14. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from al-Husayn ibn al-Hassan from Muhammad ibn ‘Uramah in a marfu’ manner from Mu’alla ibn Khanis who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) about the rights of the believer. The Imam said, ‘There are seventy categories of rights but I will only tell you of seven; I am compassionate for you and I fear you may not be able to bear it.’ I said, ‘Yes, I will bear it, if Allah so wills.’ The Imam said, ‘You must not satisfy yourself with food while he is hungry, you must not dress up in finery while he may not have any clothes. You must be as his guide, as his shirt (a means of protection) that he wears, his tongue with which he speaks and love for him what you love for yourself. If you have a maiden servant, send her to prepare his bed and try to serve him during the day or night.
