13ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ الْهِلالِيِّ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا صَافَحَ الرَّجُلُ صَاحِبَهُ فَالَّذِي يَلْزَمُ التَّصَافُحَ أَعْظَمُ أَجْراً مِنَ الَّذِي يَدَعُ أَلا وَإِنَّ الذُّنُوبَ لَتَتَحَاتُّ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ حَتَّى لا يَبْقَى ذَنْبٌ.
13. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from those who narrated to him from Zayd ibn al-Jahm al-Hilali from Malik ibn ‘Ayun from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “When two people shake hands, the one who continues holding his hand will receive greater reward than the one who releases early. However, the sins fall off of them until no sins remain.”
