٥ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ الله بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ غَوَّاصٍ الطَّائِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ كَانَ جَدِّي يَقُولُ تَقَدَّمُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا كَانَ دَعَّاءً فَنَزَلَ بِهِ الْبَلاءُ فَدَعَا قِيلَ صَوْتٌ مَعْرُوفٌ وَإِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ دَعَّاءً فَنَزَلَ بِهِ بَلاءٌ فَدَعَا قِيلَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ قَبْلَ الْيَوْمِ.
5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from his father from ‘Ubayd Allah ibn Yahya from a man from ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn Ghawwas al-Ta’I from Muhammad ibn Muslim from Abu ‘Abdillah  who has said the following: “My grandfather would say, ‘You must pray and plead before Allah for help before the fall of misfortune; if a servant (of Allah) is prayerful and misfortune befalls him and he prays, it is then said, ‘It is a familiar voice,’ but if he does not pray and plead before Allah for help when misfortune befalls him, only then he prays, it then is asked, ‘Where have you been before this day?’”
