Ibn Faddal has narrated from Ali ibn ‘Uqbah from Ayyub from al-Sumayda’ from Malik ibn ‘A’Yun al-Juhni from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: ‘When two believing people meet and shake hands Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, inserts His hand between their hands and faces the one whose love for his brother (in belief) is more intense.

When Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, turns His face to them their sins begin to fall like leaves from trees.’” جهول - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (9/63))
