وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنِ الْكُمَيْتِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) فَقَالَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا كُمَيْتُ لَوْ كَانَ عِنْدَنَا مَالٌ لَأَعْطَيْنَاكَ مِنْهُ وَ لَكِنْ لَكَ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) لِحَسَّانَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ لَنْ يَزَالَ مَعَكَ رُوحُ الْقُدُسِ مَا ذَبَبْتَ عَنَّا قَالَ قُلْتُ خَبِّرْنِي عَنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ الْوِسَادَةَ فَكَسَرَهَا فِي صَدْرِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا كُمَيْتُ مَا أُهَرِيقَ مِحْجَمَةٌ مِنْ دَمٍ وَ لَا أُخِذَ مَالٌ مِنْ غَيْرِ حِلِّهِ وَ لَا قُلِبَ حَجَرٌ عَنْ حَجَرٍ إِلَّا ذَاكَ فِي أَعْنَاقِهِمَا.


75. And by this chain, from Abaan, from Uqba Bin Basheer Al-Asady, from Al-Kumeyt Bin Zayd Al-asady who said: ‘I came up to Abu Ja’far (a.s), so he (a.s) said: ‘By Allah (azwj), O Kumeyt, if we (a.s) had in our (a.s) possession some wealth, we (a.s) would have given you from it, but for you is what the Rasool ﷺ Allah (azwj) said to Hassan Bin Sabit: ‘The Holy Spirit will not cease to be with you so long as you defend us ﷺ’. I said, ‘Inform me about the two men (Abu Bakr and Umar)’. He (the narrator) said: ‘He (a.s) took the pillow and folded it unto his (a.s) chest’ and said: ‘By Allah (azwj), O Kumeyt, there is no blood spilled unlawfully, nor any wealth taken without right, and not stone turned from another stone except that it would be upon their necks’.
