4ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ عَنْ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ حُلْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لأنْ أَمْشِيَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخٍ لِي مُسْلِمٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أُعْتِقَ أَلْفَ نَسَمَةٍ وَأَحْمِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ الله عَلَى أَلْفِ فَرَسٍ مُسْرَجَةٍ مُلْجَمَةٍ.
4. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Harun ibn Kharijah from Sadaqah from a man of the people of Hulwan from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “Walking to help my Muslim brother (in belief) is more beloved to me than setting free one thousand souls and donating one thousand horses, saddled and harnessed, ready for use in the way of Allah.”
