Al-Husayn ibn Ahmad ibn Idris (RA) said: My father said: Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn `Isa said, on the authority of `Abd al-Rahman ibn Abu Najran, on the authority of al-Mufaddal ibn Salib, on the authority of Jabir ibn Yazid al-Ju`fi that Abu Ja`far Muhammad ibn `Ali al-Baqir (AS) said: Verily, Musa son of `Imran (AS) said: âO my Lord! I am pleased with what You have decreed regarding removing the souls of the elderly and the souls of the young.â Allah, the Mighty and High, replied, âO Musa!
Are you not pleased with Me for being their Sustainer and Provider [kafil]?â Musa replied, âOf course, O Lord! You are the Best Custodian and the Best of Providers.â
