Despicability of a believing person’s complaint before an unbeliever
1 hadithمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) يَقُولُ أَيُّمَا مُؤْمِنٍ شَكَا حَاجَتَهُ وَ ضُرَّهُ إِلَى كَافِرٍ أَوْ إِلَى مَنْ يُخَالِفُهُ عَلَى دِينِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا شَكَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى عَدُوٍّ مِنْ أَعْدَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ مُؤْمِنٍ شَكَا حَاجَتَهُ وَ ضُرَّهُ إِلَى مُؤْمِنٍ مِثْلِهِ كَانَتْ شَكْوَاهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
113. Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Yunus Bin Ammaar who said: ‘I heard Abu Abdullah عليه الصلاة والسلام saying: ‘Whichever Believer complains of his need and presents it to an Infidel or to the one who is opposed to his Religion, so it is as if he has complained against Allah عز وجل before an enemy from the enemies of Allah عز وجل. And whichever Believing man complains of his need and presents it to a Believer like him, so it is as if he has complained to Allah عز وجل’.
