1ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ ذَرِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ مَنْ مَضَتْ لَهُ خَمْسُ سِنِينَ فَلَمْ يَفِدْ إِلَى رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ مُوسِرٌ إِنَّهُ لَمَحْرُومٌ.

1. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad al-Nahdiy, from Muhammad ibn al-Wafid from Aban from Dharih who has said the following: “Abu ‘ Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that one who passes five years without delegating himself before his Lord when he is able to do so, is in fact a deprived person.”

2ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ إِنَّ لله مُنَادِياً يُنَادِي أَيُّ عَبْدٍ أَحْسَنَ الله إِلَيْهِ وَأَوْسَعَ عَلَيْهِ فِي رِزْقِهِ فَلَمْ يَفِدْ إِلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ خَمْسَةِ أَعْوَامٍ مَرَّةً لِيَطْلُبَ نَوَافِلَهُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَمَحْرُومٌ.

2. Afi ibn Muhammad ibn Bundar has narrated from ibrahim ibn Ishaq from ‘Abd Allah ibn Hammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from Humran who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Allah has an announcer who announces, ‘Any servant to whom Allah has done favors and has increased his sustenance, but he does not delegate himself before his Lord once every five years to appeal for the extra favors from Him, such person is indeed a deprived one.’”
