1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Hassan ibn Ali from Bakkar ibn Kardam from al-Mufaddal from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The Imam said to me, ‘O Mufaddal, listen to what I say to you. Bear in mind that it is the truth. Do it and inform ‘Ilyat, of your brothers (in belief).’ I asked, ‘May Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, what is (Tlyah) of my brothers (in belief)?’ The Imam said, ‘All those interested in helping their brothers (in belief).’ The narrator has said that the Imam then said, ‘Whoever makes one wish of his brother (in belief) come true Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, on the Day of Judgment will make one thousand of his wishes come true of which one is his admission in paradise, as well as his relatives, those whom he knows and his brothers will be admitted into paradise, provided, they are not against belief in Walayah (Divine Authority) of ‘A ’immah. Whenever al-Mufaddal would ask for help from any of his brothers (in belief) he would ask, ‘Do you not wish to be a ’Ilyah (brothers in belief) interested in helping believers?”’
