“Once we were in Mina’ and offering became very expensive. We saw abu ’Abdillah (a.s.), standing near a bunch of cattle, bargaining stringently. We stopped and looked. When he (AS) completed his task, he came to us and said, ‘I think you found my stringent bargaining strange.’ We replied, ‘Yes, it was so.’ He (AS) said, ‘One who suffers a loss is not praised and does not receive any reward. Can I help you in something?’ We said, ‘Yes, the offering animals have become very expensive for us. He (AS) said, ‘Come together and all of you buy one Jazur.’ We said, ‘Our budget is not sufficient. He (AS) then said, ‘All of you buy one cow and slaughter it.’ We said that our budget is not sufficient. He (AS) said, ‘All of you buy one sheep and slaughter it.’ We asked if it is sufficient for seven. He (AS) said, ‘Yes, it is sufficient [even] for seventy.’”
