590 - مَنِ امتَنَعَ عَن قَضاءِ حاجَةِ أخيهِ‏

590. THE ONE WHO REFRAINS FROM Granting the Need of His Brother

1782.الإمامُ الباقرُ عليه السلام : أيُّما مسلمٍ أتى‏ مسلماً - زائراً أو طالِبَ حاجَةٍ وهُو في مَنزِلِهِ - فاسْتَأذَنَ لَه ولَم يَخْرُجْ إلَيهِ ، لَم يَزَلْ في لَعْنَةِ اللَّهِ عزّوجلّ حتّى‏ يَلْتَقِيا .1

1782.Imam al-Baqir (AS) said, 'Whichever Muslim comes to another Muslim's home to visit or to seek a need, and asks permission to enter but he does not come out [to meet him], the curse of Allah will continuously be upon that Muslim [host] until they both meet again.' 2

1783.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : مَن سألَهُ أخوهُ المؤمنُ حاجَةً مِن ضُرٍّ فمَنَعهُ مِن سَعةٍ وهُو يَقْدِرُ علَيها - مِن عِندِهِ أو مِن عندِ غَيرِهِ - حَشَرهُ اللَّهُ يَومَ القِيامَةِ مَغْلولَةً يدُهُ إلى‏ عُنُقِهِ حتّى‏ يَفْرُغَ اللَّهُ مِن حِسابِ الخَلقِ .3

1783.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'One who asks his believing brother a need in time of difficulty and he refuses him while being capable of fulfilling that need, either himself or through someone else, Allah will raise him on the Day of Resurrection in chains from his hands to his neck until Allah completes the account of all of creation.' 4

1784.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : أيُّما رجُلٍ مِن شِيعَتِنا أتاهُ رجُلٌ مِن إخْوانِنا فاسْتَعانَ بهِ في حاجَةٍ فلَم يُعِنْهُ وهُو يَقْدِرُ ، ابْتَلاهُ اللَّهُ عزّوجلّ بأنْ يَقْضيَ حوائجَ عَدُوٍّ مِن أعْدائنا يُعذّبُهُ اللَّهُ علَيهِ يَومَ القِيامَةِ .5

1784.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Whichever one of our brothers comes to one of our followers (Shia) and seeks help from him regarding a need and he does not help him, Allah will afflict him by fulfilling the need of one of our enemies, and for that Allah will punish him on the Day of Resurrection.' 6

1785.الإمامُ الصّادقُ عليه السلام : أيُّما مؤمنٍ حَبَسَ مؤمناً عن مالِهِ وهُو مُحتاجٌ إلَيهِ لَم يَذُقْ واللَّهِ مِن طَعامِ الجَنّةِ ، ولا يَشْرَبُ مِن الرَّحيقِ المَخْتومِ .7

1785.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'Whichever believer withholds his wealth from another believer who is in need, by Allah he will not taste the food of Paradise and he will not drink from the sealed wine [of Paradise].' 8
