576. Muhammad Bin Yahya, and Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad, together from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Abbad Bin Yaqoub, from Ahmad Bin Ismail, from Amro Bin Kaysan, from Abu Abdullah Al-Ju’fy who said: ‘Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali  said to me: ‘How many Rabaat (guards) are there in your presence?’ I said, ‘Forty’. He  said: ‘But our  guards are eternal guards. The ones who is a guard amongst us who looks after an animal, there will be for him its weight, and the weight of its (animal) weight so long as it was with him. And the one who is a guard amongst us with weapon would have its weight so long as it was with him. Do not grieve from once, or twice, or three times, or four, for our example and your example is like the example of the Prophet  who was in the Children of Israel. So Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Revealed to him : “If you  prepare your  people for the fighting, I (azwj) will Help you ’. So he  gathered them from the top of the mountains and from other places (other) than that. Then he  directed them for it. So they neither struck with their swords, nor did they stab with their spears until they were defeated. Then Allah (azwj) Revealed to him: “If you  prepare your  people for the fighting, I (azwj) will Help you ”. So he  called them. They said, ‘You promised us the Help, but no Help came to us’. So Allah (azwj) the High Revealed to him : “But, they can either choose to fight or the Fire’. So he  said: ‘O Lord (azwj)! The fighting is more beloved to me  than the Fire’. So he  called upon them, and three hundred and thirteen of them answered him , the same number of the people of Badr. So he  directed them (for the battle). They neither struck with their swords, nor stabbed with their spears, until Allah (azwj) Mighty and Majestic Granted victory to them’.
