[1/179] رجال الكشي: محمد بن مسعود، عن أبو جعفر حمدان بن أحمد، عن معاوية بن حكيم، عن أحمد بن أبي نصر قال: كنت عند أبي الحسن الثاني عليه السلام قال: ولا أعلم إلا قام ونفض الفراش بيده ثم قال لي: يا أحمد أن أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام عاد صعصعة بن صوحان في مرضه، فقال: يا صعصعة لا تتخذ عيادتي لك أبهة على قومك، قال: فلما قال أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام لصعصعة هذه المقالة، قال صعصعة: بلى والله أعدها منة من الله علي وفضلا، قال: فقال له أمير المؤمنين عليه السلام: إني كنت ما علمتك إلا لخفيف المؤونة حسن المعونة، قال: فقال صعصعة: وأنت والله يا أمير المؤمنين ما علمتك إلا بالله عليما، وبالمؤمنين رؤوفا رحيما

1. [1/179] Rijal al-Kashshi: Muhammad b. Masud from Abu Ja`far Hamdan b. Ahmad from Muawiya b. Hukaym from Ahmad b. Abi Nasr who said: I was with Abi al-Hasan the Second عليه السلام – when he stood and shook the bed-wrap by his own hand [to remove the dust and get it ready for me to sleep on] and said to me: O Ahmad the commander of the faithful عليه السلام visited Sa`sa`a b. Suhan in his illness and said: O Sa`sa`a do not take my visiting you as a source of pride over your people, he [the Imam] said: when the commander of the faithful عليه السلام had said these words to Sa`sa`a – Sa`sa`a said: indeed, by Allah I will count it as a divine grace from Allah on me and a favour. Then the commander of the faithful عليه السلام said to him: I have not known you except as one scanty in resources yet great in support [of the truth] so Sa`sa`a said: and you O commander of the faithful I have not known you except cognizant of Allah and to the believers both compassionate and merciful.
