مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ( عليه السلام ) قَالَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَحَبَّكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحْسَنُكُمْ عَمَلًا وَ إِنَّ أَعْظَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَمَلًا أَعْظَمُكُمْ فِيمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ رَغْبَةً وَ إِنَّ أَنْجَاكُمْ مِنْ عَذَابِ اللَّهِ أَشَدُّكُمْ خَشْيَةً لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّ أَقْرَبَكُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ أَوْسَعُكُمْ خُلُقاً وَ إِنَّ أَرْضَاكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَسْبَغُكُمْ عَلَى عِيَالِهِ وَ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ لِلَّهِ .
