١٥ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الأشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الْحَنَّاطِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ قَالَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) مَا أَلْقَى مِنَ الأوْجَاعِ وَكَانَ مِسْقَاماً فَقَالَ لِي يَا عَبْدَ الله لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مَا لَهُ مِنَ الأجْرِ فِي الْمَصَائِبِ لَتَمَنَّى أَنَّهُ قُرِّضَ بِالْمَقَارِيضِ.
15. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari from abu Yahya al- Hannat from ‘Abd Allah ibn abu Ya’fur who has said the following: “Once I complained to Abu ‘Abdillah  about pain. (He was often in pains). The Imam said, ‘O ‘Abd Allah, had a believer known about the reward for suffering from afflictions, he would have wished to be cut in pieces with scissors.’”
