Original Arabic text

2ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ خَضِرِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مُؤْمِنَانِ مُؤْمِنٌ وَفَى لله بِشُرُوطِهِ الَّتِي شَرَطَهَا عَلَيْهِ فَذَلِكَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالصِّدِّيقِينَ وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ وَحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقاً وَذَلِكَ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ وَلا يُشْفَعُ لَهُ وَذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ لا تُصِيبُهُ أَهْوَالُ الدُّنْيَا وَلا أَهْوَالُ الآخِرَةِ وَمُؤْمِنٌ زَلَّتْ بِهِ قَدَمٌ فَذَلِكَ كَخَامَةِ الزَّرْعِ كَيْفَمَا كَفَأَتْهُ الرِّيحُ انْكَفَأَ وَذَلِكَ مِمَّنْ تُصِيبُهُ أَهْوَالُ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَيُشْفَعُ لَهُ وَهُوَ عَلَى خَيْرٍ.

Published English translation

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sah ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah from Khalid al-‘Ammi from Khidr ibn ‘Amr from abu ‘Abd Alllah (RecipientofDivineSupremeCovenant who has said the following: “I heard the Imam saying, ‘There are two kinds of believing people: one kind is true to the stipulations that He has made with him. He is with the prophets, the truthful ones, the martyrs and the virtuous ones. These indeed are good companions. Such ones intercede on behalf of others but they themselves do not need anyone’s intercessions on their behalf. Such believers do not suffer from any frightening thing in this world or in the hereafter. There are the believers who lose balance. Such believers are like a sprouting plant that deals with the wind as it goes. Such believers face the frightening things in this world and in the hereafter. They need others intercession on their behalf but they are in good hands.’”
