4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَنْ عَرَفَ الله خَافَ الله وَمَنْ خَافَ الله سَخَتْ نَفْسُهُ عَنِ الدُّنْيَا.
4. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from his father from Hamza ibn ‘Abd Allah al-Ja‘ fary from Jamil ibn Darraj from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘Whoever has come to know Allah, he fears Allah. Whoever fears Allah, ignores his own soul in this world.’”
