عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ خَلَفِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) قَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ عِبَاداً مَيَامِينَ مَيَاسِيرَ يَعِيشُونَ وَ يَعِيشُ النَّاسُ فِي أَكْنَافِهِمْ وَ هُمْ فِي عِبَادِهِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْقَطْرِ وَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عِبَادٌ مَلَاعِينُ مَنَاكِيرُ لَا يَعِيشُونَ وَ لَا يَعِيشُ النَّاسُ فِي أَكْنَافِهِمْ وَ هُمْ فِي عِبَادِهِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْجَرَادِ لَا يَقَعُونَ عَلَى شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَّا أَتَوْا عَلَيْهِ.
345. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Musa Bin Ja’far, from Amro Bin Saeed, from Khalaf Bin Isa, from Abu Uney Al-Mada’iny, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far  has said that Allah (azwj) has servants who are auspicious and righteous who are living, and the people live in their protection, and they are among His (azwj) servants at the status of the country. And Allah (azwj) has servants who are accursed and deniers. Neither do they live (a good life) nor do the people in their protection, and they are among His (azwj) servants at the status of the locusts. They do not occur on something except that they devour it’.
