Original Arabic text

[-/3] رجال الكشي: علي بن الحسن، عن عباس بن عامر، عن يونس بن يعقوب قال: كتبت إلى أبي عبد الله عليه السلام أسأله أن يدعو الله لي أن يجعلني ممن ينتصر به لدينه فلم يجبني، فاغتممت لذلك، قال يونس: فأخبرني بعض أصحابنا أنه كتب إليه بمثل ما كتبت فأجابه و كتب في أسفل كتابه: يرحمك الله إنما ينتصر الله لدينه بشر خلقه

Published English translation

3. [3/-] Rijal al-Kashshi: Ali b. al-Hasan from Abbas b. A’mir from Yunus b. Ya’qub who said: I wrote to Abi Abdillah عليه السلام asking him to supplicate to Allah that He makes me among those through whom he gives victory to His religion - but he did not answer me. I became saddened because of that. Yunus said: One of our companions later informed me that he had written to him with a similar request and was answered by him [the Imam] who wrote at the bottom of the letter ‘May Allah have mercy on you, verily Allah gives victory to His religion via the worst of his creatures’

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.
