100. It has been reported that Abu Ja'far (a.s) said
A group of Muslims left on a journey and lost their way. They were overcome with severe thirst; they began using the earth for ablution and sought shelter under a tree. An old man dressed in white came to them and said, 'Rise. You have nothing to worry about. Here is water.' So, they rose and drank until their thirst was quenched. They then asked, 'Who are you, may Allah have mercy on you?' He said, 'I am of the Jinn who paid allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (a.s). I heard him saying, 'A believer is a brother to a believer, his eyes and his guide.' So, it is not right for you to perish in my presence.'
100 - وعن أبي جعفر (ع) قال
إن نفراً من المسلمين خرجوا في سفر لهم، فأضلوا الطريق فأصابهم عطش شديد فتيمموا ولزموا أصول الشجر، فجاءهم شيخ عليه ثياب بيض، فقال: قوموا، لا بأس عليكم، هذا الماء قال: فقاموا وشربوا فأرووا فقالوا له: من أنت رحمك الله؟ قال: أنا من الجن الذين بايعوا رسول الله (ص)، إني سمعته يقول: المُؤمنُ أخو المؤمنِ عينُه ودليلُه. فلم تكونوا تضيعوا بحضرتي.
