Refusing to Help a Brother (in Belief)

3ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ الْخَطَّابِ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ عَنْ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لَمْ يَدَعْ رَجُلٌ مَعُونَةَ أَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ حَتَّى يَسْعَى فِيهَا وَيُوَاسِيَهُ إِلا ابْتُلِيَ بِمَعُونَةِ مَنْ يَأْثَمُ وَلا يُؤْجَرُ.
3. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn Hassan from Muhammad ibn Aslam from al-Khattab ibn Mas’ab ibn Sadir from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Whoever ignores assistance to his Muslim brother and the endeavor to cooperate with him will be involved in assisting someone who commits sins. It (assistance) does not bring him any rewards.”
