6- الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ فِي وَصِيَّتِهِ لِلْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ اسْتَعِينُوا بِبَعْضِ هَذِهِ عَلَى هَذِهِ وَلا تَكُونُوا كُلُولا عَلَى النَّاسِ.
6. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ja’far ibn Muhammad from al-Qasim ibn al-Rabi‘ in his (Imam’s) advice to al- Mufaddal ibn ‘Umar who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah عليه السلام, saying, ‘You should use certain items of these resources to overcome other tasks and do not become a burden on people.’”
