Hadith 464
Hadith.3581 - It is narrated from Muhammad ibn Udhafir, from his father, who said
Abu Abdullah (as), handed me seven hundred dinars and said: "O 'Udhafir, invest it in something." Imam (as) then added: "I am not doing this out of greed, but I wish for Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, to see me seeking His bounties." Udhafir said: I earned a profit of one hundred dinars from it. So, while performing Tawaf, I said to him: "May I be your ransom! Allah (swt), the Exalted, has grant a profit of one hundred dinars in it." Imam (as) replied: "Add it to my capital."

دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ سَبْعَمِائَةِ دِينَارٍ وَ قَالَ "يَا عُذَافِرُ اِصْرِفْهَا فِي شَيْءٍ مَا" وَ قَالَ "مَا أَفْعَلُ هَذَا عَلَى شَرَهٍ مِنِّي وَ لَكِنِّي أَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ يَرَانِيَ اَللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مُتَعَرِّضاً لِفَوَائِدِهِ" قَالَ عُذَافِرٌ فَرَبِحْتُ فِيهَا مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ فِي اَلطَّوَافِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَدْ رَزَقَ اَللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهَا مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ قَالَ "أَثْبِتْهَا فِي رَأْسِ مَالِي".

Hadith.3587 - It is narrated from Amr ibn Shimr, from Jabir, from Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as), who said
"When Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, revealed the verse: 'Indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah (swt)], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid them' (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:90). The people asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (swt), what is gambling (maysir)?' He (sw) replied: 'Everything that involves betting, even dice and walnuts.' They asked: 'What are the stone alters (ansab)?' He (sw) said: 'They are the sacrifices offered to their idols.' They asked: 'What are the divining arrows (azlam)?' He (sw) said: 'They are their arrows used for seeking decisions or division.'"
