1- عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ طَرِيفٍ عَنِ الأصْبَغِ بْنِ نُبَاتَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ يَضْحَكُ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى رَجُلٍ فِي كَتِيبَةٍ يَعْرِضُ لَهُمْ سَبُعٌ أَوْ لِصٌّ فَحَمَاهُمْ أَنْ يَجُوزُوا.

1. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Khalid from ibn Faddal from abu Jamilah from Sa‘d ibn Tarif from al-Asbagh ibn Nubatah who has said the following: “’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), has said, ‘Allah, the most Majestic, the most Glorious, laughs (loves) at a man in a group of soldiers who are attacked by wild beasts or thieves and he defends them so they can pass by.’”
