12. Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ahmad ibn al-Walid (RA) said: Muhammad ibn al-Hasan alSaffar said, on the authority of Muhamad ibn al-Husayn ibn Abu al-Khattab, on the authority of Muhammad ibn Isma`il ibn Bazi`, on the authority of Muhamad ibn `Udhafir, on the authority of his father that Abu Ja`far al-Baqir (AS) said
While the Messenger of Allah (SA) was on one of his journeys, some riders met him, and said: “Peace be upon you, O messenger of Allah.” So, he turned to them and asked, ”Who are you?” They answered, “We are believers.” He (SA) asked, “What is the nature of your belief?” They replied, “Pleasure in the destiny of Allah, submission to the command of Allah, and relinquishment to Allah (of all affairs).” The Messenger of Allah (SA) responded, “You are learned and wise. You are almost as wise as the prophets. If you are truthful, then do not build what you will not inhabit, do not collect what you will not eat, and fear Allah to whom you shall return.”
12 - حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد رحمه الله، قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن محمد بن الحسين بن أبي الخطاب، عن محمد بن إسماعيل بن بزيع، عن محمد بن عذافر، عن أبيه، عن أبي جعفر عليه السلام، قال
بينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ذات يوم في بعض أسفاره إذا لقيه ركب فقالوا: السلام عليك يا رسول الله، فالتفت إليهم فقال: ما أنتم؟ فقالوا: مؤمنون، فقال: ما حقيقة إيمانكم. قالوا: الرضا بقضاء الله والتسليم لأمر الله والتفويض إلى الله، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم: علماء حكماء كادوا أن يكونوا من الحكمة أنبياء، فإن كنتم صادقين فلا تبنوا ما لا تسكنون، ولا تجمعوا ما لا تأكلون، واتقوا الله الذي إليه ترجعون.
