[1554/5] الكافي: حميد بن زياد، عن الحسن بن محمد، عن أحمد بن الحسن الميثمي، عن يعقوب بن شعيب، عن أبي عبدالله عليه السلام قال: لما أمر الله عزوجل هذه الآيات أن يهبطن إلى الارض تعلقن بالعرش وقلن أي رب إلى أين تهبطنا إلى أهل الخطايا والذنوب فأوحى الله عزوجل إليهن: أن اهبطن فوعزتي وجلالي لا يتلوكن أحد من آل محمد وشيعتهم في دبر ما افترضت عليه من المكتوبة في كل يوم إلا نظرت إليه بعيني المكنونة في كل يوم سبعين نظرة أقضي له في كل نظرة سبعين حاجة وقبلته على ما فيه من المعاصي وهي ام الكتاب و شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ وآية الكرسي وآيه الملك

[5/1554] al-Kafi: Humayd b. Ziyad from al-Hasan b. Muhammad from Ahmad b. al-Hasan al-Maythami from Ya’qub b. Shuayb from Abi Abdillah عليه السلام who said: When Allah Mighty and Majestic ordered these verses to go down to the Earth they attached themselves to the Throne and said: ‘O Lord - where are you sending us down to? To the people of mistakes and sins?!’ So Allah Mighty and Majestic revealed to them: ‘Go down - for by My Might and Majesty - no one from the Family of Muḥammad and their Shīʿa (followers) will recite you at the end of what I have obligated on him of the Maktūba (obligatory prayers) every day except that I will glance at him with my Hidden Eye, in every day seventy glances, I fulfill for him in each glance seventy wishes and accept him despite what he has of sins’. They (the verses) are: Umm al-Kitāb (The Mother of the Book), “Allah witnesses that there is no God except Himself, (so do) the angels, and the possessors of Knowledge …” (3:18), Āyat al-Kursī (The Verse of the Chair), and Āyat al-Mulk (The Verse of the Kingdom)
