Al-Kāfi|Volume 4|Book 1|Chapter 16
3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الله عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ السَّكُونِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَسْأَلُ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَاجَةٍ فَيَمُوتُ حَتَّى يُحْوِجَهُ الله إِلَيْهَا وَيُثَبِّتَ الله لَهُ بِهَا النَّارَ.
3. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn abu ‘Abd Allah from Ya’qub ibn Yazid from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Malik ibn Husayn al-Sakuniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, has said, ‘If a servant asks for help without actually needing help, after his death Allah makes him need that same thing and the only reward he then receives from Allah is fire.’”
