29ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْمِيثَمِيِّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ هِلالٍ الشَّامِيِّ مَوْلىً لأبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ كُلَّمَا أَحْدَثَ الْعِبَادُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعْمَلُونَ أَحْدَثَ الله لَهُمْ مِنَ الْبَلاءِ مَا لَمْ يَكُونُوا يَعْرِفُونَ.

29. Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Kufi has narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan al- Maythami from al-‘Abbas ibn Hilal al-Shami, Mawla of abu al-Hassan Musa (a.s.) who has said the following: “I heard al-Rida (a.s.) saying, ‘Whenever servants commit such sins that they had not committed before, Allah creates a new misfortune against them of which they had no knowledge.’”

Arabic and English texts preserved verbatim from pinned snapshot. Compiler introduction excluded where present; references mapped to fields; assessment whitespace trimmed; source-supplied English sanad retained separately.

verification Note
Publisher content rights, translator attribution and structural checks, with independent publisher-page spot checks—not scholarly authentication or printed-edition collation. Historical text and scholarly reference strings may contain source errors; they are not silently corrected. No full commentary prose or inferred narrator identity is added. Muʿjam coverage, where present, is only the supplied excerpt, not the complete work.
