4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ عَنْ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا يُعْطِيهَا الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّ وَمَنْ أَبْغَضَ وَإِنَّ الإيمَانَ لا يُعْطِيهِ إِلا مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ.
4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Nu’man from abu Sulayman from Muyassir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام has said, ‘Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, gives the world to those He loves as well as to those He hates, but He does not give belief to anyone except those He loves.”
