Muhammad b. Musa b. al-Mutawakkil narrated to us. He said: Muhammad b. Abi `Abdullah al-Kufi narrated to us from Musa b. `Imran al-Nakha`I from his uncle al-Husayn b. Yazid from al-Hasan b. `Ali b. Abi Hamza from his father from Yahya b. Abi’l Qasim from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his grandfather . He said:

A man wrote to al-Husayn b. `Ali : “O my Master! Inform me of the best of this world and the Hereafter.” So, he wrote to him: “In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. As for what comes after: whoever seeks the pleasure of Allah despite the discontent of the people, Allah will suffice him in the affairs of the people. Whoever seeks the pleasure of the people despite the discontent of Allah, Allah will entrust him to the people. Peace.”
