/ ١ - حدثنا الشيخ الفقيه أبو جعفر محمد بن علي بن الحسين بن موسى ابن بابويه القمي (رحمه الله)، قال: حدثنا أبي (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا سعد بن عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أحمد بن أبي عبد الله، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن مالك بن أنس، عن الصادق جعفر بن محمد، عن أبيه، عن آبائه (عليهم السلام)، عن علي (عليه السلام)، قال: جاء الفقراء إلى رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله)، فقالوا: يا رسول الله، إن للاغنياء ما يعتقون به وليس لنا، ولهم ما يحجون به وليس لنا، ولهم ما يتصدقون به وليس لنا، ولهم ما يجاهدون به وليس لنا. فقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): من كبر الله تبارك وتعالى مائة مرة كان أفضل من عتق مائة رقبة، ومن سبح الله مائة مرة كان أفضل من سياق مائة بدنة، ومن حمد الله مائة مرة كان أفضل من حملان مائة فرس في سبيل الله بسرجها ولجمها وركبها، ومن قال: لا إله إلا الله مائة مرة كان أفضل الناس عملا ذلك اليوم إلا من زاد. قال: فبلغ ذلك الاغنياء فصنعوه، قال: فعادوا إلى النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله)، فقالوا: يا رسول الله، قد بلغ الاغنياء ما قلت فصنعوه. فقال (صلى الله عليه وآله): ذلك فضل الله يؤتيه من يشاء (١).
Muhammad b. Ali b. al-Husayn b. Musa b. Babuwayh al-Qummi (rh) narrated to us. He said: My father  narrated to us. He said: Sa`d b. `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: Ahmad b. Abi `Abdullah narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to us from Muhammad b. Abi Umayr from Malik b. Anas from al-Sadiq Ja`far b. Muhammad from his father from his forefathers  from `Ali . He said: The poor came to the Messenger of Allah (s) and said: O Messenger of Allah! The rich have those who they could emancipate, and we do not. They have that which they could use for pilgrimages, and we do not. They have that which they could give in charity, and we do not. They have that which they could use for jihad, and we do not. So, the Messenger of Allah (s) said: "Exalting Allah (takbir) one hundred times is better than freeing one hundred slaves. Glorifying Allah (subhanallah) one hundred times is better than sacrificing one hundred camels. Praising Allah (alhamdulillah) one hundred times is better than supplying one hundred readied horses with a horseman going in the cause of Allah. Whomever says: "there is no god except Allah" (la ilaha illallah) one hundred times, he will be the better than the people in deeds that day, except he who exceeds him. So, the rich were told about that, and they began practicing it. So, the poor returned to the Prophet (s) and said: O Messenger of Allah! The rich were told about what you had said, and they began practicing it. So, he (s) said: That is the virtue of Allah, which He gives to whomever He pleases.
