51- سَهْلُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ قَالَ كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِنِّي قَدْ لَزِمَنِي دَيْنٌ فَادِحٌ فَكَتَبَ أَكْثِرْ مِنَ الاسْتِغْفَارِ وَرَطِّبْ لِسَانَكَ بِقِرَاءَةِ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ.
51. Sahl ibn Ziyad has narrated from Mansur ibn al-‘Abbas from ‘Isma’il ibn Sahl who has said the following: “I once wrote to abu Ja‘far عليه السلام, and said, ‘Debts are holding me down and they are heavy.’ He (the Imam) wrote to me, ‘Ask forgiveness from Allah a great deal and moisten you tongue by reading, “Inna Anzalna” Chapter 97.’”
