Hadith 210

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – From Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Usman Bin Isa, from one of our companions, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him–asws, ‘My brothers and the sons of my uncle have constricted the house upon me and thrown me out from it to (another) house, and were I to speak to them, I could take what is in their hands’. He (the narrator) said, ‘He–asws said to me: ‘Be patient, for Allah–azwj would be Making a relief to be for you! ’
He (the narrator) said, ‘So I left, and a plague occurred in the year one hundred and thirty- one, and they (all) died, by Allah–azwj, all of them, and there did not remain (even) one from them. I went out, and when I came over to him–asws, he–asws said: ‘What is the state of your family? ’
I said to him–asws, ‘They have died, by Allah–azwj, all of them, and there does not remain (even) one’. He–asws said: ‘It is due to what they did with you and their disloyalty to you and severing your relationship with a cutting off. Would you love it if they were to remain (alive) and they had constricted (life) upon you? ’
He said, ‘I said, ‘Yes, by Allah–azwj’’. [265]
