So one of the sons of Al-Husayn -asws said to me, ‘Who will take care of what has befallen you?’ So I said, ‘Musa Bin Abdullah’. So he said, ‘Then your need would not be fulfilled. Then your seeking would not be accomplished’. I said, ‘And why is that so?’ He said, ‘Because I have found in one of the Books of my forefathers -asws that Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying . . .’, and he mentioned similar to it (the above Hadeeth). So I said, ‘O son of Rasool-Allah -saww ! Dictate it to me’.
So he dictated it to me. So I said, ‘No, by Allah -azwj ! I will not ask him for a need after it’.

So, one of our companions said to me, ‘Who would take care of what has befallen you?’ So I said, ‘So and so’. So he said, ‘Then, by Allah -azwj , your need would not be relieved, nor would your work be accomplished, nor would your seeking be successful’.
I said, ‘And what made you know, may Allah -azwj have Mercy on you?’ قَالَ إِنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) حَدَّثَنِي أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ فِي بَعْضِ الْكُتُبِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ وَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي وَ مَجْدِي وَ ارْتِفَاعِي عَلَى عَرْشِي لَأَقْطَعَنَّ أَمَلَ كُلِّ مُؤَمِّلٍ [مِنَ النَّاسِ] غَيْرِي بِالْيَأْسِ وَ لَأَكْسُوَنَّهُ ثَوْبَ الْمَذَلَّةِ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ وَ لَأُنَحِّيَنَّهُ مِنْ قُرْبِي وَ لَأُبَعِّدَنَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِي He said, ‘Abu Abdullah -asws narrated to me that he -asws read in one of the Books that Allah -azwj Blessed and High is Saying: ‘By My -azwj Honour and My -azwj Majesty, and My -azwj Glory, and by Exaltedness upon My -azwj Throne!
