Hadith 84
۞
7. Ali ibn Muhammad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad have narrated from Ali ibn al-Hassan from al-‘Abbas ibn ‘Amir from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Sayrafiy from Mufaddal ibn Qays ibn Rummanah who has said the following
“Once I visited abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and mentioned to him certain matters about my conditions. The Imam asked the housemaid to bring to him a certain bag, then he said, ‘This is the four hundred dinar that abu Ja’far (the Abbaside rule) has sent to me as a gift. Take it to ease your difficulties.’ I then said, ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, I do not want to take the money; it is not everything in my life. I love most that you pray for me before Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious.’ The Imam said, ‘I will certainly do so; however, you must never speak to people about your conditions; you will seem insignificant in their sight.’”
7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ عَنْ مُفَضَّلِ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ رُمَّانَةَ قَالَ
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ بَعْضَ حَالِي فَقَالَ يَا جَارِيَةُ هَاتِ ذَلِكَ الْكِيسَ هَذِهِ أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَصَلَنِي بِهَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ فَخُذْهَا وَتَفَرَّجْ بِهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لا وَالله جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا هَذَا دَهْرِي وَلَكِنْ أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ لِي قَالَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَأَفْعَلُ وَلَكِنْ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُخْبِرَ النَّاسَ بِكُلِّ حَالِكَ فَتَهُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ.
