٦ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَنْ مَرِضَ ثَلاَثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَكَتَمَهُ وَلَمْ يُخْبِرْ بِهِ أَحَداً أَبْدَلَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لَهُ لَحْماً خَيْراً مِنْ لَحْمِهِ وَدَماً خَيْراً مِنْ دَمِهِ وَبَشَرَةً خَيْراً مِنْ بَشَرَتِهِ وَشَعْراً خَيْراً مِنْ شَعْرِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَكَيْفَ يُبْدِلُهُ قَالَ يُبْدِلُهُ لَحْماً وَدَماً وَشَعْراً وَبَشَرَةً لَمْ يُذْنِبْ فِيهَا. 
6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from certain persons of his people who have said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said, ‘If one becomes ill for three days and does not inform anyone about it, Allah, the Majestic, the Glorious, changes his flesh into a better flesh, his blood into a better blood, his skin into a better skin and his hair into better hair.’ I then asked, ’May Allah keep my soul in the service of your cause, how does He do it?’ He said, ‘He changes it into flesh, blood, hair and skin which has not committed any sin.”’
