Original Arabic text

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الله الْقُمِّيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ ثَلاثَةٌ دَعْوَتُهُمْ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ الْحَاجُّ فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونَهُ وَالْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ الله فَانْظُرُوا كَيْفَ تَخْلُفُونَهُ وَالْمَرِيضُ فَلا تُغِيظُوهُ وَلا تُضْجِرُوهُ.

Published English translation

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Isa ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Qummi who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘Three people’s prayers are accepted: one who has gone to performing Hajj, thus, consider how can you deal properly with his affairs in his absence, a soldier fighting for the cause of Allah, thus, consider how can you deal properly with his affairs in his absence, and a person suffering from an illness, thus, do not annoy or disturb him.’”
