21ـ حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَفْصٍ الْكُنَاسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَرَى مُبْتَلىً فَيَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي عَدَلَ عَنِّي مَا ابْتَلاكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَيْكَ بِالْعَافِيَةِ اللهمَّ عَافِنِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَيْتَهُ بِهِ إِلا لَمْ يُبْتَلَ بِذَلِكَ الْبَلاءِ.
21. Hamid ibn Ziyad has narrated from al-Hassan ibn Muhammad ibn Sama’a from more than one person from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from Hafs al-Kunansi from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘Anyone who upon seeing an ailing person says, “All praise belongs to Allah Who has avoided afflicting me with what He has afflict you and has given preference to me over you in granting a good health. O Allah, grant me good health against the ailment with which he is afflicted.” He, because of this prayer, will not suffer from such an ailment.’”
