3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (a.s) قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ مَا لَكُمْ تَسُوءُونَ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ كَيْفَ نَسُوؤُهُ فَقَالَ أَ مَا تَعْلَمُونَ أَنَّ أَعْمَالَكُمْ تُعْرَضُ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا رَأَى فِيهَا مَعْصِيَةً سَاءَهُ ذَلِكَ فَلا تَسُوءُوا رَسُولَ الله وَسُرُّوهُ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Uthman ibn ’Isa from Sama‘a who has said that he heard abu ‘Abdallah (a.s) say the following: “What is wrong with you? Why do you disappoint the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?” A man asked, “How do we disappoint him?” He (a.s) replied, “Do you not know that your deeds are presented before him? When he find sins in them it disappoints him. So do not disappoint the Messenger of Allah, rather make him happy.”
