 ٤ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ الرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قُلْتُ لَهُ الْجَاحِدُ مِنْكُمْ وَمِنْ غَيْرِكُمْ سَوَاءٌ فَقَالَ الْجَاحِدُ مِنَّا لَهُ ذَنْبَانِ وَالْمُحْسِنُ لَهُ حَسَنَتَانِ.
 4. A number of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn abu Nasr who has said the following. “I asked al-Rida , ‘Are those who reject you from your own people and other such people the same?” He replied, “Those of our own people who would reject us (our Leadership with Divine Authority) would be considered as having committed twice as much sin and the good deed from our own people who are virtuous would also considered as of twice as much value.”
