6. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Aziz from Jamil from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘Of the special characteristics that Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, has given to a believer is that he is the means for the recognition and identification of the good deeds of his brothers (in belief) even if such deeds are small and little. Goodness is not in plentifulness as it is mentioned in the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, in His book: ‘They give preference to them over themselves, even concerning the things that they themselves urgently need. . . .’ then He has said, ‘. . . whoever controls his greed will have everlasting happiness.’ (59:9) To whoever Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, grants such recognition He loves him. Whomever Allah, the Most Blessed, the Most High, loves, He grants him reward in full measures on the Day of Judgment and without keeping any counts.’ The Imam said, ‘O Jamil, narrate this Hadith to your brothers (in belief); it is an exhortation to good deeds.’”
