4. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Ghalib al-Asadiy from his father from Sa‘id ibn al-Musayyib who has said the following
“I visited Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), one day after he had performed the Morning Prayer. At that time, someone asking for help appeared at the door and Ali ibn al-Husayn (a.s.), said, ‘Give something as charity to one who asks for help and do not turn away such people empty- handed.’”
4ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ غَالِبٍ الأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ
حَضَرْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) يَوْماً حِينَ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ فَإِذَا سَائِلٌ بِالْبَابِ فَقَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ (عَلَيْهِما السَّلاَم) أَعْطُوا السَّائِلَ وَلا تَرُدُّوا سَائِلاً.
