20ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ هِلالٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ آلَ فُلانٍ يَبَرُّ بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَيَتَوَاصَلُونَ فَقَالَ إِذاً تَنْمِي أَمْوَالُهُمْ وَيَنْمُونَ فَلا يَزَالُونَ فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى يَتَقَاطَعُوا فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ انْقَشَعَ عَنْهُمْ.
20. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sulayman ibn Hilal who has said the following: “Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام ‘The family of so and so helps each other and maintains good relations.’ The Imam said, ‘Their wealth will increase and their persons will increase. They will remain as such as long as they will not neglect their good relations, if they neglect then they will lose.’”
