4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Hadid from Murazim from Musadif who has said the following
“Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and I were between Makkah and al-Madinah. We passed by a man who had thrown himself near the trunk of a tree. He (the Imam) said, ‘Allow us to see this man. I am afraid he is thirsty. We went to him. He was a man from the Farasin (a certain people) and had long hairs. He (the Imam) asked, ‘Are you thirsty ? He replied, ‘Yes, I am thirsty. He (the Imam) said, ‘O Musadif, dismount and give him water. I went and gave him water. Then we left and I said, ‘He is a Christian man. Do you give charity to a Christian man? He (the Imam) replied, ‘Yes, I give them charity if they are found in that condition. ‘“
4ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ مُصَادِفٍ قَالَ
كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَمَرَرْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ وَقَدْ أَلْقَى بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ مِلْ بِنَا إِلَى هَذَا الرَّجُلِ فَإِنِّي أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدْ أَصَابَهُ عَطَشٌ فَمِلْنَا فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْفَرَاسِينَ طَوِيلُ الشَّعْرِ فَسَأَلَهُ أَ عَطْشَانُ أَنْتَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ فَقَالَ لِي انْزِلْ يَا مُصَادِفُ فَاسْقِهِ فَنَزَلْتُ وَسَقَيْتُهُ ثُمَّ رَكِبْتُ وَسِرْنَا فَقُلْتُ هَذَا نَصْرَانِيٌّ فَتَتَصَدَّقُ عَلَى نَصْرَانِيٍّ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا كَانُوا فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْحَالِ.
