Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn abu Hamza from abu Basir from abu ‘Abdallah (a.s.) who has said the following: “All deeds are presented before the Messenger of Allah (sw). It is the deeds of the all the virtuous and the evil doing servants (of Allah) that are presented every morning and evenings (before the Messenger of Allah). So pay proper attention to it and be very careful. It is the saying of Allah the Almighty: “(Muhammad), tell them, “Act as you wish. God will see your deeds and so will do His Messenger. . .” (9:105) The Imam (a.s.) paused at this point and did not read any further.”
