Al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. Idris (ra) narrated to us. He said: My father narrated to us from Muhammad b. Ahmad al-`Alawi. He said: Ahmad b. al-Qasim narrated to me from Abi Hashim al-Ja`fari. He said
I was afflicted with extreme poverty, so I visited Abi’l Hasan `Ali b. Muhammad (as) and he permitted me in. When I sat down, he said: O Aba’l Hashim! Which of the blessings of Allah over you would you like to give thanks for? Abu’l Hashim said: I remained silent because I did not know what to say to him. So, he (as) preceded me, saying: He has given you faith, by which He has prohibited your body from the Fire. He has given you wellness, by which He supported you in obedience [to Him]. He has granted you contentment, by which He separated you from spending too much. O Aba’l Hashim! I only preceded you with this because I thought that you wanted to complain to me about the One who has done this to you. I have prepared one hundred gold coins for you, so take them.
11 - حدثنا الحسين بن أحمد بن إدريس (رضي الله عنه)، قال: حدثنا أبي، عن محمد بن أحمد العلوي، قال: حدثني أحمد بن القاسم، عن أبي هاشم الجعفري، قال
أصابتني ضيقة شديدة، فصرت إلى أبي الحسن علي بن محمد (عليهما السلام)، فأذن لي، فلما جلست قال: يا أبا هاشم، أي نعم الله عز وجل عليك تريد أن تؤدي شكرها؟ قال أبو هاشم: فوجمت (1)، فلم أدر ما أقول له، فابتدأ (عليه السلام) فقال: رزقك الايمان، فحرم به بدنك على النار، ورزقك العافية فأعانتك على الطاعة، ورزقك القنوع فصانك عن التبذل. يا أبا هاشم، إنما ابتدأتك بهذا، لاني ظننت أنك تريد أن تشكو إلي من فعل بك هذا، وقد أمرت لك بمائة دينار، فخذها (2).
