31-192 Al-Husayn Ahmad ibn Idris - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted on the authority of Abu Sa’eed Sahl ibn Ziyad al-Adami, on the authority of Al-Husayn ibn al-Ne’man, on the authority of Ali ibn Asbat that Al-Hassan ibn Al-Jahm asked Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.), “May I be your ransom!

What are the limits for reliance?” Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) replied, “Realizing that you should fear no one once you are with God.” I asked him, “What are the limits for humbleness?” He (a.s.) replied, “That you bestow from yourself what you like to be bestowed upon yourself.” I asked him, “May I be your ransom! I would like to know about my position with you” Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) said, “Look and see my position with you.”
