1. Muhammad in Al-Husayn has narrated from Ibrahim ibn Ishaq al-Ahmar from ‘Abd Allah ibn Hammad al-Ansariy from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan from abu al-Hassan al-Ahmasiy who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘ Allah, the most Majestic, the most Glorious, has delegated all affairs of a believer to him but He has not delegated him to humiliate himself. Have you not heard the words of Allah, the most Majestic, the most Glorious, “All honor belongs to Allah, His Messenger and the believers. . . .” (63:7) Thus, believers are honorable but not lowly and humiliated.’ He then said, ‘All believers are more majestic than mountains. Mountains are reducible by picks and shovels but believers are not reducible, even in small amounts, in matters of their religion.’”
1- مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الأحْمَرِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الأنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الأحْمَسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلام) قَالَ
إِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فَوَّضَ إِلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ أُمُورَهُ كُلَّهَا وَلَمْ يُفَوِّضْ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ ذَلِيلا أَمَا تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ وَللهِ الْعِزَّةُ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَالْمُؤْمِنُ يَكُونُ عَزِيزاً وَلا يَكُونُ ذَلِيلا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ أَعَزُّ مِنَ الْجَبَلِ إِنَّ الْجَبَلَ يُسْتَقَلُّ مِنْهُ بِالْمَعَاوِلِ وَالْمُؤْمِنَ لا يُسْتَقَلُّ مِنْ دِينِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ.
