3ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُعَلىً عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ وَعَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِنَّ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا يُعْطِيهَا الله الْبَرَّ وَالْفَاجِرَ وَلا يُعْطِي الإيمَانَ إِلا صَفْوَتَهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ.
3. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Mu’alla from al- Washsha’ from ‘Abd al-Karim ibn ‘Amr al-Khath’ami from ‘Umar ibn Hanzalah and Hamza ibn Humran from abu Ja’far عليه السلام who has said the following: “Allah gives this world to both the virtuous and evil-doing people, but He does not give belief to anyone except to His chosen creatures.”
