Hadith 31-192

حَدَّثَنا الحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدِ بْنِ إِدْرِيس رَضِىَ اللهُ عَنْهُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَبي قالَ: حَدَّثَنا اَبى قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَبُو سَعِيدُ سَهْل بْنِ زِيادٍ الأَدَمِي قالَ: حَدَّثَنا الحُسَيْن بْن النُّعمان، عَنْ عَلىِّ بْنِ أَسْباطٍ، عَنِ الحَسَن بْنِ الجَهْمِ، قالَ: سَأَلْتُ الرِّضا عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: جُعِلْتُ فِداكَ ما حَدِّ التَّوَكُّل؟ فَقالَ لي: أَن لا تَخافَ مَعَ اللَّه أَحَداً. قالَ: فَقُلْتُ فَما حَدُّ التَّواضُعِ؟ قَالَ: أَنْ تُعْطي النَّاسِ مِن نَفْسِكَ ما تُحِبُّ أَن يُعطُوكَ مِثْلَهُ. قالَ: قُلْتُ: جُعِلْتُ فِداكَ أشتَهي أَن أَعْلَمَ كَيْفَ أَنَا عِنْدَكَ؟ قالَ: اُنظُر كَيْفَ أَنَا عِندَكِ.

Al-Husayn Ahmad ibn Idris - may God be pleased with him - narrated that his father quoted on the authority of Abu Sa’eed Sahl ibn Ziyad al-Adami, on the authority of Al-Husayn ibn al-Ne’man, on the authority of Ali ibn Asbat that Al-Hassan ibn Al-Jahm asked Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.), “May I be your ransom! What are the limits for reliance?” Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) replied, “Realizing that you should fear no one once you are with God.” I asked him, “What are the limits for humbleness?” He (a.s.) replied, “That you bestow from yourself what you like to be bestowed upon yourself.” I asked him, “May I be your ransom! I would like to know about my position with you” Ar-Ridha’ (a.s.) said, “Look and see my position with you.”
